remove a node from the middle of a linked list in javascript

To remove a node from the middle of a linked list in javascript, you will need to traverse the list until you find the node you want to delete, then rearrange the pointers to remove that node from the list.

Here's an example code block that demonstrates how to remove a node from a linked list in javascript:

index.tsx
class Node {
  constructor(data) {
    this.data = data;
    this.next = null;
  }
}

class LinkedList {
  constructor() {
    this.head = null;
  }

  removeNode(data) {
    let currentNode = this.head;
    let prevNode = null;

    while (currentNode !== null) {
      if (currentNode.data === data) {
        if (prevNode === null) {
          this.head = currentNode.next;
        } else {
          prevNode.next = currentNode.next;
        }
        return true;
      }

      prevNode = currentNode;
      currentNode = currentNode.next;
    }

    return false;
  }

  // other methods here...
}

// example usage
let list = new LinkedList();
list.head = new Node(1);
list.head.next = new Node(2);
list.head.next.next = new Node(3);
list.head.next.next.next = new Node(4);

list.removeNode(2); // removes node with data === 2 from the list

In this example, we have a Node class that stores the node data and a reference to the next node in the list. We also have a LinkedList class that has a head property pointing to the first node in the list. The removeNode method traverses the list looking for the node containing the data we want to delete. If it finds the node, it rearranges the pointers to remove that node from the list.

Note that this implementation only removes the first node found with the given data. If there are multiple nodes with the same data, only the first will be removed. To remove all nodes with a particular data value, you would need to modify the removeNode method accordingly.
