Here is the C++ implementation of removing the N-th node from the end of a linked list, which is a common problem in coding interviews. This solution uses a **two-pointer technique** to efficiently find and remove the node. 🧑💻

## 🚀 Explanation
7
+
1.**Edge Case Handling:** If the head is `nullptr` or `n` is non-positive, we return `nullptr`.
8
+
2.**Dummy Node:** A dummy node is used to simplify edge cases where the node to be removed is the head.
9
+
3.**Two Pointers:**
10
+
-`fast` pointer moves ahead by `n+1` steps.
11
+
-`slow` pointer starts from the dummy and moves along with `fast` until `fast` reaches the end of the list.
12
+
4.**Node Removal:** The node after `slow` is the N-th node from the end. We remove it by adjusting pointers and deallocate memory.

### 💡 Notes:
15
+
-**Time Complexity:**`O(L)` where `L` is the length of the linked list.
16
+
-**Space Complexity:**`O(1)` as we only use two additional pointers.
