[LeetCode] 19. Remove Nth Node From End of List 删除链表的倒数第 N 个结点
Given the head
of a linked list, remove the nth
node from the end of the list and return its head.
Example 1:
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5], n = 2 Output: [1,2,3,5]
Example 2:
Input: head = [1], n = 1 Output: []
Example 3:
Input: head = [1,2], n = 1 Output: [1]
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the list is
sz
. 1 <= sz <= 30
0 <= Node.val <= 100
1 <= n <= sz
Follow up: Could you do this in one pass?
这道题让我们移除链表倒数第N个节点,限定n一定是有效的,即n不会大于链表中的元素总数。还有题目要求一次遍历解决问题,那么就得想些比较巧妙的方法了。比如首先要考虑的时,如何找到倒数第N个节点,由于只允许一次遍历,所以不能用一次完整的遍历来统计链表中元素的个数,而是遍历到对应位置就应该移除了。那么就需要用两个指针来帮助解题,pre 和 cur 指针。首先 cur 指针先向前走N步,如果此时 cur 指向空,说明N为链表的长度,则需要移除的为首元素,那么此时返回 head->next 即可,如果 cur 存在,再继续往下走,此时 pre 指针也跟着走,直到 cur 为最后一个元素时停止,此时 pre 指向要移除元素的前一个元素,再修改指针跳过需要移除的元素即可,参见代码如下:
class Solution { public: ListNode* removeNthFromEnd(ListNode* head, int n) { ListNode *pre = head, *cur = head; for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) cur = cur->next; if (!cur) return head->next; while (cur->next) { cur = cur->next; pre = pre->next; } pre->next = pre->next->next; return head; } };
