Remove Nth Node From End of List
Description
Given a linked list, remove the n-th node from the end of list and return its head.
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.

Could you do this in one pass?
Code
/**
* 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) {
ListNode first = head;
ListNode second = head;
int count = 0;
while (first != null) {
if (count > n) second = second.next;
first = first.next;
count++;
}
if (count == n) return second.next;
second.next = second.next.next == null ? null : second.next.next;
return head;
}
}
