      7 ## Algorithm
      8 ```
      9 Procedure delete_lastNode(dl)
     10 begin
     11     if (dl = NULL) then
     12         write("List is empty, deletion not possible.");
     13     else
     14         ptr ← dl;
     15         if (next(ptr) = NULL) then
     16             dl ← NULL;
     17             delete(ptr);
     18         else
