How to remove elements from a linked list in Go?

To remove elements from a linked list in Go, you can follow these steps:

Define a struct for the linked list node. It should have a value field to hold the data and a next field to point to the next node.

type Node struct {
    value interface{}
    next  *Node
}

Define a struct for the linked list. It should have a head field to keep track of the first node.

type LinkedList struct {
    head *Node
}

Implement a function to remove an element from the linked list.

func (list *LinkedList) Remove(value interface{}) {
    if list.head == nil {
        return
    }

    // Handling case where the head node holds the value to be removed
    if list.head.value == value {
        list.head = list.head.next
        return
    }

    // Traverse the linked list to find the node holding the value
    prev := list.head
    current := list.head.next
    for current != nil {
        if current.value == value {
            prev.next = current.next
            return
        }
        prev = current
        current = current.next
    }
}

Here's a complete example to illustrate the usage:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

type Node struct {
	value interface{}
	next  *Node
}

type LinkedList struct {
	head *Node
}

func (list *LinkedList) Remove(value interface{}) {
	if list.head == nil {
		return
	}

	// Handling case where the head node holds the value to be removed
	if list.head.value == value {
		list.head = list.head.next
		return
	}

	// Traverse the linked list to find the node holding the value
	prev := list.head
	current := list.head.next
	for current != nil {
		if current.value == value {
			prev.next = current.next
			return
		}
		prev = current
		current = current.next
	}
}

func (list *LinkedList) Print() {
	current := list.head
	for current != nil {
		fmt.Printf("%v ", current.value)
		current = current.next
	}
	fmt.Println()
}

func main() {
	list := LinkedList{}

	// Adding elements to the linked list
	list.head = &Node{value: 1}
	node1 := &Node{value: 2}
	node2 := &Node{value: 3}
	node3 := &Node{value: 4}
	list.head.next = node1
	node1.next = node2
	node2.next = node3

	// Printing the original linked list
	fmt.Println("Original Linked List:")
	list.Print()

	// Removing element 3 from the linked list
	list.Remove(3)

	// Printing the modified linked list
	fmt.Println("Modified Linked List:")
	list.Print()
}

The output will be:

Original Linked List:
1 2 3 4 
Modified Linked List:
1 2 4

In this example, we create a linked list with elements 1, 2, 3, and 4. We then remove the element 3 from the list and print the modified list.
