Solution: Linked List Cycle III

Explore how to detect cycles in a linked list and determine their length by using fast and slow pointer methods. Understand the algorithm that moves pointers at different speeds, identifies cycle presence, and counts cycle length. This lesson equips you with an efficient approach to solve linked list cycle problems and grasp their time and space complexity.

Statement

Given the head of a linked list, determine the length of the cycle present in the linked list. If there is no cycle, return 0.

A cycle exists in a linked list if there is some node in the list that can be reached again by continuously following the Next pointer.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range ...
