leetcode-19：给定一个链表，删除链表的倒数第 n 个节点，并且返回链表的头结点。

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

方法：两次遍历算法
思路

我们注意到这个问题可以容易地简化成另一个问题：删除从列表开头数起的第 (L - n + 1)(L−n+1) 个结点，其中 LL 是列表的长度。只要我们找到列表的长度 LL，这个问题就很容易解决。

算法

首先我们将添加一个哑结点作为辅助，该结点位于列表头部。哑结点用来简化某些极端情况，例如列表中只含有一个结点，或需要删除列表的头部。在第一次遍历中，我们找出列表的长度 LL。然后设置一个指向哑结点的指针，并移动它遍历列表，直至它到达第 (L - n)(L−n) 个结*

点那里。我们把第 (L - n)(L−n) 个结点的 next 指针重新链接至第 (L - n + 2)(L−n+2) 个结点，完成这个算法。

class Solution {
    public ListNode removeNthFromEnd(ListNode head, int n) {
        ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
        dummy.next = head;
        int length = 0;
        ListNode first = head;
        while (first != null){
            length++;
            first = first.next;
        }

        length = length-n;
        first = dummy;
        while (length > 0){
            length--;
            first = first.next;

        }
        first.next = first.next.next;
        return dummy.next;
