leetcode. Linked List Cycle && Linked List Cycle ii

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

Follow up:
Can you solve it without using extra space?

使用双指针fast和slow,fast每次走两步,slow每次走一步,如果fast追上slow则存在环,否则不存在。

 1 bool hasCycle(ListNode *head)  2     { 3         ListNode *slow = head, *fast = head; 4         while (fast != NULL) 5         { 6             slow = slow->next; 7             fast = fast->next; 8             if (fast != NULL) 9                 fast = fast->next;10             if (fast != NULL && fast == slow)11                 return true;12         }13         14         return false;15     }

 Linked List Cycle ii则是要求出环出现的那个节点。

在fast追上slow时,fast比slow多走了nC,n>=1, C为圆的周长。如下图:

     

slow走的路程:lenA + x,fast走的路程:LenA + nC + x

因为fast走的路程是slow的两倍:2(lenA + x) = lenA + nC + x

于是, nC = lenA + x, 即lenA = nC - x。

那么相遇时,让slow指向head,fast和slow走一样的步长,最终相遇在Join处。

 1 ListNode *detectCycle(ListNode *head)  2     { 3         ListNode *fast = head, *slow = head; 4          5         while (fast != NULL) 6         { 7             slow = slow->next; 8             fast = fast->next; 9             if (fast != NULL)10                 fast = fast->next;11             if (fast != NULL && fast == slow)12                 break;13         }14         15         if (fast == NULL)16             return NULL;17             18         slow = head;19         while (slow != fast)20         {21             slow = slow->next;22             fast = fast->next;23         }24         25         return slow;26     }
