How can we delete any specific node from the linked list?..

Answer / Alok Kumar

To delete a specific node in a singly linked list, you need to do the following:

1. Initialize a temporary variable (temp) and set it to the head of the list.
2. Iterate through the list until you find the node to be deleted. While iterating, move temp to the previous node of the current node.
3. After finding the node to be deleted, assign the next node of the current node (the one following the node to be deleted) as the next node of the previous node (i.e., bypassing the node to be deleted).
4. Free or deallocate the memory of the old node.
