[Leetcode] 76. Linked List Cycle

题目

Given a linked list, determine if it has a cycle in it.

Can you solve it without using extra space?

解题之法

class Solution {
public:
    bool hasCycle(ListNode *head) {
        ListNode *slow = head, *fast = head;
        while (fast && fast->next) {
            slow = slow->next;
            fast = fast->next->next;
            if (slow == fast) return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
};

分析

这道题是快慢指针的经典应用。只需要设两个指针，一个每次走一步的慢指针和一个每次走两步的快指针，如果链表里有环的话，两个指针最终肯定会相遇。
