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.
思路:题目要求一遍就能删除倒数第n个节点,显然,获取整个链表的长度然后再从头开始数就不符合要求。看到这道题来自于快慢指针的启发,定义两个指针,第一个指针先走n步,然后两个指针一起走,第一个指针到达最后一个节点,第二个指针到达了要删除的那个节点。这样,代码就比较容易写出了。
class Solution {
public:
ListNode *removeNthFromEnd(ListNode *head, int n) {
ListNode* fast = head;
ListNode* slow = head;
ListNode* front = head;
int i = n;
while(i-- && fast != NULL)
{
fast = fast->next;
}
if (i >= 0 && fast == NULL)
{
return head;
}
while(fast != NULL)
{
front = slow;
fast = fast->next;
slow = slow->next;
}
if (front == slow)
{
return head->next;
}
front->next = slow->next;
return head;
}
};
