19. 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.

Solution: Two Pointers

class Solution(object):
    def removeNthFromEnd(self, head, n):
        """
        :type head: ListNode
        :type n: int
        :rtype: ListNode
        """
        slow = dummy = ListNode(None)
        fast = dummy.next = head
        for _ in xrange(n):
            fast = fast.next
        while fast:
            slow = slow.next
            fast = fast.next
        if slow.next:
            slow.next = slow.next.next
        return dummy.next
