LeetCode Challenge #19. Remove Nth Node From End of List

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

Java Solution
				
					class Solution {
    public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
        if(head == null){
            return null;
        }
        ListNode fast = head ;
        ListNode slow = head ;

        while(n>0){
            fast = fast.next ;
            n--;
        }

        if(fast == null){
            return head.next;
        }

        while(fast.next!=null){
            fast = fast.next;
            slow = slow.next;
        }
        slow.next = slow.next.next;
        return head ;
    }
}
