Solution: Linked List Cycle IV
Explore Floyd’s Cycle Detection technique to identify and remove cycles in singly linked lists. This lesson guides you through implementing a function that detects loops, finds their starting node, and removes the cycle by adjusting pointers, ensuring the linked list becomes linear again while preserving node order.

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.
