Delete a node from Nth position in linked list in C

Problem statement: Given a position, delete the number at that position in the linked list.

Here we should keep in mind that the position given should be less than the length of the linked list.
As linked list starting position or index is 0. The position can be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the length of the LinkedList.
