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:很巧妙的一个方法。用两个指针形成n gap,gap形成以后,以同样的速度移动。当最后一个达到end时,前一个就移动到了从后数的第nth个
代码:1.如果不添加initialStart的话,就需要检查删除node为head的情况。2.添加初始initialStart的话,所有删除情况一样。
注意::还有一种简化代码的方法是 [指针的指针]。,我有点晕。。。。下次看
/** * Definition for singly-linked list. * struct ListNode { * int val; * ListNode *next; * ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {} * }; */ class Solution { public: /*use two pointer to form a gap*/ ListNode *removeNthFromEnd(ListNode *head, int n) { ListNode *p1,*pn; p1=pn=head; while(n>=0 && pn){ pn=pn->next; n--; } // delete the first element from end; if(n>=0) { head=head->next; return head; } while(pn){ pn=pn->next; p1=p1->next; } if(p1 && p1->next) p1->next=p1->next->next; return head; } };
