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.从尾端删除第n个节点。
(1)获取总的链表长度,L根据n带入(L−n+1)求出从第一个节点开始数要删除的节点。
public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);//1、在first节点前增加一个节点,防止仅有一个节点时有误
dummy.next = head;
int length = 0;
ListNode first = head;
while (first != null) {
length++;//获取所有节点的长度,包含了加入的判断节点
first = first.next;
}
length -= n;
first = dummy;
while (length > 0) {
length--;
first = first.next;//循环到要删除节点的上一个节点
}
first.next = first.next.next;
return dummy.next;//2、返回first节点
}
两个while循环分别执行L,L-N次,时间复杂度O(L);
(2)分别设定两个指针,指向头节点,第一个指针后移n-1,然后再通过第一个指针是否为空,判断第二个
指针节点位置,正好为删除节点位置。其实跟上边通过length循环查找时一样的,都做了length - n次循环
public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
dummy.next = head;
ListNode first = dummy;
ListNode second = dummy;
// Advances first pointer so that the gap between first and second is n nodes apart
for (int i = 1; i <= n + 1; i++) {
first = first.next;
}
// Move first to the end, maintaining the gap
while (first != null) {
first = first.next;
second = second.next;
}
second.next = second.next.next;
return dummy.next;
}
