Solution: Linked List Cycle

Explore the fast and slow pointers technique to detect if a linked list contains a cycle. Understand both naive and optimized approaches, and learn to implement a solution that efficiently identifies cycles with O(n) time and O(1) space complexity.

Statement

Given the head of a linked list, determine whether the list contains a cycle. A cycle exists if a node in the list can be revisited by continuously following the next pointers. Return TRUE if a cycle is present; otherwise, return FALSE.

Constraints:

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

  • 00\leq n 500\leq500
  • 105-10^5 \leq
