leetcode 题解 || Remove Nth Node From End of List 问题

problem：

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.

删除单链表的倒数第n个节点

thinking：

（1）这里的 head 是头指针。指向第一个结点！！

！别搞混了。

（2）为了避免反复计数，採用双指针，先让第一个指针走n-1步，再一起走，这样，等前面指针走到最后一个非空结点时。后面一个指针正好指向待删除结点的前驱！！！

（3）延伸：

头结点不是必须的，一般不用。经常使用的是用一个头指针head指向第一个元素结点！！

！。！这道题就是！！！！
