[LeetCode] 141. Linked List Cycle

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

To represent a cycle in the given linked list, we use an integer pos which represents the position (0-indexed) in the linked list where tail connects to. If pos is -1, then there is no cycle in the linked list.

Example 1:

Input: head = [3,2,0,-4], pos = 1
Output: true
Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where tail connects to the second node.

Example 2:

Input: head = [1,2], pos = 0
Output: true
Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where tail connects to the first node.

Example 3:

Input: head = [1], pos = -1
Output: false
Explanation: There is no cycle in the linked list.

Can you solve it using O(1) (i.e. constant) memory?

环形链表。

题意很简单，思路是用快慢指针，慢指针每走一步，快指针走两步。如果快慢指针在某个地方相遇了，说明有环；否则快指针就会遍历到链表尾部从而会退出循环。

时间O(n)

空间O(1)

JavaScript实现

/**
 * @param {ListNode} head
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var hasCycle = function(head) {
    // corner case
    if (head === null || head.next === null) {
        return false;
    }

    // normal case
    let slow = head;
    let fast = head;
    while (fast !== null && fast.next !== null) {
        slow = slow.next;
        fast = fast.next.next;
        if (slow === fast) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
};

Java实现

public class Solution {
    public boolean hasCycle(ListNode head) {
        // corner case
        if (head == null || head.next == null) {
            return false;
        }

        // normal case
        ListNode slow = head;
        ListNode fast = head;
        while (fast != null && fast.next != null) {
            slow = slow.next;
            fast = fast.next.next;
            if (slow == fast) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}
