Can you solve it without using extra space?
Solution:
Using a fast pointer that advances two nodes each time and a slow pointer that advances on node, we always detect a cycle as the fast pointer cannot overtake the slow one without being in the same node in one of the ``turns"./**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* class ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode next;
* ListNode(int x) {
* val = x;
* next = null;
* }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public boolean hasCycle(ListNode head) {
ListNode fast = head;
ListNode slow = head;
while(fast!=null && fast.next !=null)
{
fast = fast.next.next;
slow = slow.next;
if(fast == slow)
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
