Doubt in erase function

#1

Just wanted to know if my erase function is right?

void erase(string key) {
            int idx=hashFn(key);

            Node*temp=table[idx];
            Node*prev=NULL;

            while(temp){
                if(temp->key==key){

                    if(prev)
                        prev->next=temp->next;
                    else
                        table[idx]=temp->next;

                    delete temp;
                }

                prev=temp;
                temp=temp->next;
            }
        }

Or before deleting temp, I have to do temp->next = NULL ?

this is also correct
no need to make temp->next = null
because temp is just going to delete
