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

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.

Could you do this in one pass?

题意

给定一个链表,删除它的倒数第n个结点。

题解

由于链表的特性,删除正数的某个结点比较简单,所以关键就在于我们如何将倒数第n个结点转换为正数某个结点。

我们可以设立两个指针p和q并构建一个虚拟头结点,让p指向虚拟头结点,让q指向第n+1个结点,然后一起后移,当q指向null的时候,p刚好指向要删除的结点的前一个结点,然后删除操作就很容易了。

当然,我们也可以先遍历一下整个链表,得到链表的长度l,然后将倒数第n个结点转化为正数第l-n+1个结点。

(吐槽一下,实际上后移应该是往前移,不过我这么说习惯了)
