177. Nth Highest Salary

Write a SQL query to get the n^th highest salary from the Employee table.

+----+--------+
| Id | Salary |
+----+--------+
| 1  | 100    |
| 2  | 200    |
| 3  | 300    |
+----+--------+

For example, given the above Employee table, the n^th highest salary where n = 2 is 200. If there is no n^th highest salary, then the query should return null.
