本文提供了一种使用C++实现的高效方法来移除链表中连续的重复元素。通过两个指针技巧，该方法能有效保留链表中唯一的元素，并且在处理各种边界情况时表现出良好的鲁棒性。

struct ListNode {
	int val;
	ListNode *next;
	ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
};


class Solution {
//three pointer, the previous valid pointer, the first pointer of these same elements, current pointer
//always think twice about these edge cases 
public:
	ListNode *deleteDuplicates(ListNode *head) {
		// Start typing your C/C++ solution below
		// DO NOT write int main() function
		ListNode* preValid = NULL;
		ListNode* preSame = NULL;
		ListNode* cur = head;
		while (cur)
		{
			if(!preSame) preSame = cur;
			else if(cur->val != preSame->val && preSame->next == cur)//continuous different then preSame can be the preValid
			{
				if(!preValid)
				{
					head = preSame;
					preValid = preSame;
				}
				else
				{
					preValid->next = preSame;
					preValid = preSame;
				}
				preSame = cur;
			}
			else if (cur->val != preSame->val && preSame->next != cur)//not continuous different
				preSame = cur;
			cur = cur->next;
		}
		//4 special edge cases
		if(!preValid && preSame && preSame->next != NULL) return NULL;
		else if(!preValid && preSame && preSame->next == NULL) return preSame;
		else if(preValid && preSame->next != NULL) preValid->next = NULL;
		else if(preValid && preSame->next == NULL) preValid->next = preSame;
		
		return head;
	}
};
