In a circular linked list, the defining characteristic is that every node's next pointer points to another node within the same structure, ensuring there are no NULL pointers. When deleting the last node, the algorithm updates the next pointer of the second-to-last node to point directly to the head node (or the new last node), maintaining the circular continuity. Consequently, no pointer is ever set to NULL during this operation because doing so would break the circular property and convert it into a standard linked list.
