题意:
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. Try to do this in one pass. (Easy)
分析:题目虽然是easy,但是用one pass做起来还是包含几个链表常用的手法的,有参考价值;
链表算法上没有什么难的,就是代码上仔细,再熟悉几种处理方法即可。
1.Two pointers。 利用快慢指针,快指针先走n步,然后一起走,快的下一步到终点了,慢的到达要删除的前一位;
2. dummy node。 凡是head位置可能被删掉,返回出现问题,用dummy node处理返回问题。
代码:
1 /** 2 * Definition for singly-linked list. 3 * struct ListNode { 4 * int val; 5 * ListNode *next; 6 * ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {} 7 * }; 8 */ 9 class Solution {10 public:11 ListNode* removeNthFromEnd(ListNode* head, int n) {12 ListNode dummy(0);13 dummy.next = head;14 head = &dummy;15 ListNode* chaser = head;16 ListNode* runner = head;17 for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {18 runner = runner -> next;19 }20 while (runner -> next != nullptr) {21 runner = runner -> next;22 chaser = chaser -> next;23 }24 ListNode* temp = chaser -> next;25 chaser -> next = chaser -> next -> next;26 delete temp;27 return dummy.next;28 }29 };
