/********************************************************************************** 
* 
* Given a sorted linked list, delete all nodes that have duplicate numbers, leaving only distinct numbers from the original list.
* 
* For example,
* Given 1->2->3->3->4->4->5, return 1->2->5.
* Given 1->1->1->2->3, return 2->3.
* 
*
