Solution: Linked List Cycle—Hashing

Explore how to detect if a linked list contains a cycle by using hashing techniques. Understand the algorithm that tracks visited nodes to return true if a cycle exists and false otherwise. Learn the step-by-step approach with a focus on both time complexity and space efficiency.

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 n 500\leq 500 ...
