Question Definition
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.
Java Solution
public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
if(head == null || n <= 0) return head;
ListNode slow = head;
ListNode fast = head;
while(--n >= 0)
fast = fast.next;
if(fast == null){
head = head.next;
return head;
}
while(fast.next != null){
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next;
}
slow.next = slow.next.next;
return head;
}
