19. Remove Nth Node From End of List

一、题目

  1、审题

    

 

  2、分析

    去除链表的倒数第 n 个元素,并返回链表

 

二、解答

  1、分析:

    方法一:

    a、遍历确定链表节点个数 total;

    b、去除第 total - n 个节点;

    

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {

        int total = 0;
        ListNode tempNode = head;
        while(tempNode != null) {
            total++;
            tempNode = tempNode.next;
        }

        if(total < n)
            return head;
        else if(total == n)
            return head.next;

        int index = 1;
        tempNode = head;
        while(index++ < total - n)
            tempNode = tempNode.next;

        tempNode.next = tempNode.next.next;

        return head;
    }
}

 

    方法二:

      a、采用指针,slow 指向头结点,fast 指向距离头结点为 n 的节点;  

      b、slow 与 fast 一起向后移动,当 fast指向节点的 next 为空时,去除 slow 的next 节点;

      注意: 距离为 n 时,要删除的是 距离为 n - 1 的数, 即第 n 个数。

    

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
        
        if(head.next == null)
            return null;
        
        int distant = 1;
        ListNode slow = head, fast = head;

        // distant = n - 1
        while(distant++ < n) 
            fast = fast.next;
        
        // keep the distant = n 
        if(fast == null) 
            return head.next;
        else if(fast.next != null)
            fast = fast.next;
        else 
            // remove Node slow 
            return slow.next;
            
        while(fast.next != null) {
            slow = slow.next;
            fast = fast.next;
        }
        
        slow.next = slow.next.next;
        
        return head;
    }
}

 

   同方法二,更简洁的实现方法;

public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
        
        ListNode fast = head;
        ListNode slow = head;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {   // distant is n
            fast = fast.next;
        }

        ListNode prev = null;
        while(fast != null) {   // 当 slow 指向的为 倒数第 n 个元素,即所要删除的元素时跳出循环
            prev = slow;
            slow = slow.next;
            fast = fast.next;
        }

        if(prev == null)    // when slow = head , fast is NULL
            head = head.next;
        else
            prev.next = slow.next;  // fast is

        return head;
    }
