Solution: Linked List Cycle

Explore how to detect cycles in a linked list by using fast and slow pointers. This lesson teaches you to implement an optimized algorithm that checks for cycles in a single pass without extra space, helping you understand an essential coding interview pattern.

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
