LeetCode 19 — Remove Nth Node From End of List（C++ Java Python）

题目：http://oj.leetcode.com/problems/remove-nth-node-from-end-of-list/

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.

题目翻译：

给定一个链表，删除倒数第n个节点，并返回头结点。
例如，
   给定链表：1->2->3->4->5，n = 2。
   删除倒数第2个节点之后，该链表变为1->2->3->5。
注意：
给定的n始终是有效的。
尝试一遍完成。

分析：

        采用快慢指针的思想，间隔n，当快指针到达尾部时，慢指针的下一个结点即为要删除的结点。注意考虑边界情况。

C++实现：

/**
 * 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) {
        // Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case.
        ListNode *fast = head;
    	ListNode *slow = head;

    	for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    	{
    		fast = fast->next;
    	}

    	if(fast != NULL)
    	{
        	while(fast->next != NULL)
        	{
        	    fast = fast->next;
        	    slow = slow->next;
        	}

        	ListNode *tmp = slow->next;
        	slow->next = tmp->next;
        	delete tmp;

        	return head;
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		ListNode *tmp = head;
    		head = head->next;
    		delete tmp;

    		return head;
    	}
    }
};

Java实现：

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) {
 *         val = x;
 *         next = null;
 *     }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
        // Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case.
        ListNode fast = head;
		ListNode slow = head;

		for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
			fast = fast.next;
		}

		if (fast != null) {
			while (fast.next != null) {
				fast = fast.next;
				slow = slow.next;
			}
			slow.next = slow.next.next;

			return head;
		} else {
			return head.next;
		}
    }
}

Python实现：

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None

class Solution:
    # @return a ListNode
    def removeNthFromEnd(self, head, n):
        fast = head
        slow = head
        
        for i in range(n):
            fast = fast.next
            
        if fast != None:
            while fast.next != None:
                fast = fast.next
                slow = slow.next
            
            slow.next = slow.next.next
            
            return head
        
        else:
            return head.next
