LeetCode: Remove Nth Node From End of List [019]

【题目】

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.


【题意】

    删除链表倒数第n个结点


【思路】

维护两个指针p1,p2,初始时都指向首节点。p2结点先向前移动n步,然后两个指针同时向后移动,直至p2指向队尾的空指针。此时p1指向的即为需要删除的指针。为了完成操作,还需要额外维护一个指向p1前一个结点的prev指针。


【代码】

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    ListNode *removeNthFromEnd(ListNode *head, int n) {
        ListNode*prev=NULL;
        ListNode*p1=head;
        ListNode*p2=head;
        int k=0;
        while(k<n && p2){k++;p2=p2->next;}
        if(k<n)return head;     //链表元素少于n个,则不做删除操作
        //定位待待删除元素
        while(p2){
            prev=p1;
            p1=p1->next;
            p2=p2->next;
        }
        //删除元素
        if(prev)prev->next=p1->next;
        else head=p1->next;
        return head;
    }
};
