Leetcode-19. Remove Nth Node From End of List

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

Example 1:

Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5], n = 2
Output: [1,2,3,5]

Example 2:

Input: head = [1], n = 1
Output: []

Example 3:

Input: head = [1,2], n = 1
Output: [1]

<解題>

  1. 使用 fast 指針向前移動 n + 1 步,以創造出 n 個節點的間隔,這樣在 fast 達到鏈表尾部時,slow 將指向倒數第 n 個節點的前一個節點
  2. 最後指向倒數n的下一位

class Solution {
    public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
    
    ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
    ListNode slow = dummy, fast = dummy;
    dummy.next = head;
    
    //先讓fast走n步
    for(int i=0; i<=n; i++)   {
        fast = fast.next;
    }
    //slow會走到倒數n的位置
    while(fast != null) {
        slow = slow.next;
        fast = fast.next;
    }
    //跳過倒數n的下一位
    dummy.next = slow.next.next;
    return dummy.next;
}
}
