19. Remove Nth Node From End of List

Given a linked list, remove the _n_th node from the end of list and return its head.

For example,

   Given linked list: 1->2->3->4->5, and n = 2.

   After removing the second node from the end, the linked list becomes 1->2->3->5.

Note: Given n will always be valid. Try to do this in one pass.

My Solutions:

  • head先走n步,接着node和head同时走,保持n的距离

  • 当head走到末尾时,node就在倒数第n个。

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
        ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
        dummy.next = head;

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) head = head.next;

        ListNode node = dummy;

        while (head != null) {
            head = head.next;
            node = node.next;
        }
        node.next = node.next.next;
        return dummy.next;
    }
}
