链表中倒数第k个结点

可以用两个指针，当第一个指针指向了第k个时候，第二个指针让他指向链表的第一个元素，然后这两个指针同时向后面移动，当第一个指针移动到末尾的时候，第二个指针指向的就是倒数第K个结点；

两个指针的间距保持为k-1；

当我们遍历列表的时候发现用一个指针是解决不了问题的，我们可以尝试用两个指针来解决问题，一个指针走的比另外一个指针走得快一点，或者先让其中的一个指针走了若干步，然后再让第二个指针来走；

kth.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include "List.h"

ListNode* FindKthToTail(ListNode* pListHead, unsigned int k)
{
	if(pListHead == NULL || k == 0)
	{
		return NULL;
	}

	ListNode* pAhead = pListHead;
	ListNode* pBehind = NULL;

	for(unsigned int i = 0; i < k - 1; ++i)
	{
		if(pAhead->m_pNext != NULL)
		{
			pAhead = pAhead->m_pNext;
		}
		else
		{
			return NULL;
		}
	}

	pBehind = pListHead;
	while(pAhead->m_pNext != NULL)
	{
		pAhead = pAhead->m_pNext;
		pBehind = pBehind->m_pNext;
	}
	return pBehind;
}
