Given a linked list, remove the nth 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.
删除倒数第n个节点,主要有两种做法
法一:先遍历得到链表的长度length,倒数第n个就是正数第length-n+1个(如1 2 3,倒数第三个节点就是3-3+1=1,即第一个节点)
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
ListNode* removeNthFromEnd(ListNode* head, int n) {
ListNode* newlist= new ListNode(0);
newlist->next = head; //带头节点的链表
int length = 0;
ListNode* first = head;
while(first != NULL){ //得到链表长度
length++;
first = first->next;
}
if(n > length) return NULL;
int n1 = length + 1 - n;//倒数第n个是在正数第n1个节点
first = newlist;
while(n1 - 1 > 0){ //找到目标节点的前一个位置,便于删除目标节点
n1--;
first = first->next;
}
first->next = first->next->next; //删除目标节点
return newlist->next; //返回不带头节点的链表
}
};
法二:利用两个指针,快指针先走,找到第n个节点,再启动慢指针。
此时快慢指针相距n,让两个指针一起走,快指针走到尾节点时,慢指针刚好到倒数第n个节点。
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
ListNode *removeNthFromEnd(ListNode *head, int n) {
if (!head)
return nullptr;
ListNode new_head(-1);
new_head.next = head;
ListNode *slow = &new_head, *fast = &new_head;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) //快指针先走到第n个节点
fast = fast->next;
while (fast->next) //快慢指针一起走
{
fast = fast->next;
slow = slow->next;
}
ListNode *to_do_deleted = slow->next; //这两行负责删除操作
slow->next = slow->next->next;
delete to_do_deleted;
return new_head.next;
}
};
