Lintcode: Nth to Last Node in List

Find the nth to last element of a singly linked list. 

The minimum number of nodes in list is n.

Example
Given a List  3->2->1->5->null and n = 2, return node  whose value is 1.

Runner Technique: 两个指针都从Dummy node出发,结束条件是runner.next!=null

 1 public class Solution {
 2     /**
 3      * @param head: The first node of linked list.
 4      * @param n: An integer.
 5      * @return: Nth to last node of a singly linked list.

 7     ListNode nthToLast(ListNode head, int n) {
 8         // write your code here
 9         ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
10         dummy.next = head;
11         ListNode walker = dummy;
12         ListNode runner = dummy;
13         while (runner.next != null && n>0) {
14             runner = runner.next;
15             n--;
16         }
17         while (runner.next != null) {
18             runner = runner.next;
19             walker = walker.next;
20         }
21         return walker.next;

23 }
