1.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.

给一个链表,删除倒数第N个结点,然后返回头结点。
思路一:
定义两个指针,第一个指针从链表的头指针开始遍历向前走k-1;第二个指针保持不动,从第k步开始,第二个指针也开始遍历,两个指针差距k-1个距离,
当第一个指针走到了尾巴节点,第二个指针正好在倒数第k个节点;
时间复杂度为O(链表长度)
