This PR makes small readability and maintainability improvements to the algorithm implementation.

Changes

  • Removed a redundant n < 0 validation check since the method contract already ensures valid n
  • Replaced current.remove(current.size() - 1) with current.removeLast() to better express backtracking intent

Rationale

  • Simplifies input validation without changing behavior
  • Uses the Deque API to make the backtracking step clearer and less error-prone

Impact

  • No change in algorithm logic or time/space complexity
  • Output remains identical
  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized it.
  • All filenames are in PascalCase.
  • All functions and variable names follow Java naming conventions.
  • All new algorithms have a URL in their comments that points to Wikipedia or other similar explanations.
  • All new algorithms include a corresponding test class that validates their functionality.
  • All new code is formatted with clang-format -i --style=file path/to/your/file.java

This PR makes small readability and maintainability improvements to the algorithm implementation.

### Changes
- Removed a redundant `n < 0` validation check since the method contract already ensures valid `n`
- Replaced `current.remove(current.size() - 1)` with `current.removeLast()` to better express backtracking intent

### Rationale
- Simplifies input validation without changing behavior
- Uses the `Deque` API to make the backtracking step clearer and less error-prone

### Impact
- No change in algorithm logic or time/space complexity
- Output remains identical
