Program that will return the nth node from the end of a linked list

struct node
{
int data;
struct node *next;
}mynode;


mynode * nthNode(mynode *head, int n /*pass 0 for last node*/)
{
mynode *ptr1,*ptr2;
int count;

if(!head)
{
return(NULL);
}

ptr1  = head;
ptr2  = head;
count = 0;

while(count < ptr1="ptr1-">next)==NULL)
{
//Length of the linked list less than n. Error.
return(NULL);
}
}

while((ptr1=ptr1->next)!=NULL)
{
ptr2=ptr2->next;
}
return(ptr2);
}
