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.
题解:
这道题也是经典题,利用的是faster和slower双指针来解决。
首先先让faster从起始点往后跑n步。
然后再让slower和faster一起跑,直到faster==null时候,slower所指向的node就是需要删除的节点。
注意,一般链表删除节点时候,需要维护一个prev指针,指向需要删除节点的上一个节点。
为了方便起见,当让slower和faster同时一起跑时,就不让 faster跑到null了,让他停在上一步,faster.next==null时候,这样slower就正好指向要删除节点的上一个节点,充当了prev指针。这样一来,就很容易做删除操作了。
slower.next = slower.next.next(类似于prev.next = prev.next.next)。
同时,这里还要注意对删除头结点的单独处理,要删除头结点时,没办法帮他维护prev节点,所以当发现要删除的是头结点时,直接让head = head.next并returnhead就够了。
代码如下:
1 public static ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
2 if(head == null || head.next == null)
3 return null;
4
5 ListNode faster = head;
6 ListNode slower = head;
7
8 for(int i = 0; i<n; i++)
9 faster = faster.next;
10
11 if(faster == null){
12 head = head.next;
13 return head;
14 }
15
16 while(faster.next != null){
17 slower = slower.next;
18 faster = faster.next;
19 }
20
21 slower.next = slower.next.next;
22 return head;
23
24 }
2 if(head == null || head.next == null)
3 return null;
4
5 ListNode faster = head;
6 ListNode slower = head;
7
8 for(int i = 0; i<n; i++)
9 faster = faster.next;
10
11 if(faster == null){
12 head = head.next;
13 return head;
14 }
15
16 while(faster.next != null){
17 slower = slower.next;
18 faster = faster.next;
19 }
20
21 slower.next = slower.next.next;
22 return head;
23
24 }
