Solution: Linked List Cycle IV
Explore how to detect and eliminate cycles in singly linked lists using the fast and slow pointer technique. This lesson helps you implement Floyd's cycle detection method, reset pointers to find the cycle's start, and remove the cycle without altering node order, improving your ability to solve linked list problems effectively.

Statement
Given the head of a singly linked list, implement a function to detect and remove any cycle present in the list. A cycle occurs when a node's Next pointer links back to a previous node, forming a loop within the list.
The function must modify the linked list in place, ensuring it remains acyclic while preserving the original node order. If no cycle is found, return the linked list as is.
