19 Remove Nth Node From End of List

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.

        dummy.next = head;

        for(int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
            fast = fast.next;
        }

        slow.next = slow.next.next;
        return dummy.next;
    }
}
