Challenge: Linked List Cycle

Explore how to detect cycles in singly linked lists by traversing nodes and identifying revisits. Learn to implement a reliable cycle detection algorithm in C++. This lesson helps you understand the problem constraints and develop a solution critical for coding interviews focused on linked lists.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given the head of a linked list, check whether or not a cycle is present in the linked list. A cycle is present in a linked list if at least one node can be reached again by traversing the next pointer. If a cycle exists, return TRUE; otherwise, return FALSE.

Constraints:

Let n be the number of nodes in a linked list.

  • 00 \leq ...
