LeetCode 19 Remove Nth Node From End of List (C,C++,Java,Python)

Problem:

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.

Solution:

采用游标的方式，一个游标s在前边n的位置，另一个p在头部，当s走到链表结尾的时候p的位置就是应该删除的地方，时间复杂度O(n)

题目大意：

给一个单链表，要求删除倒数第n个数。
