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.
题解:快慢指针的思想,就像找到链表中点或者判断链表是否有环一样,是很经典的思想。
设置fast指针比slow指针多走n步,然后slow和fast一起前进,当fast指向null的时候,slow就指向从后往前数的第n个元素了。
但是要删除某个节点,最好的是知道它前面的节点,所以slow实际比fast慢n+1步。
代码如下:
1 /** 2 * Definition for singly-linked list. 3 * public class ListNode { 4 * int val; 5 * ListNode next; 6 * ListNode(int x) { 7 * val = x; 8 * next = null; 9 * } 10 * } 11 */ 12 public class Solution { 13 public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) { 14 if(head == null) 15 return null; 16 17 ListNode slow = new ListNode(0); 18 ListNode answer = slow; 19 slow.next = head; 20 ListNode fast = head; 21 for(int i = 0;i < n;i++){ 22 if(fast == null) 23 return null; 24 fast = fast.next; 25 } 26 while(fast != null){ 27 slow = slow.next; 28 fast = fast.next; 29 } 30 31 //delete what slow.next 32 slow.next = slow.next.next; 33 return answer.next; 34 } 35 }
