Linked List Cycle 判断一个链表是否存在回路(循环)

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

Can you solve it without using extra space?

注意,链表循环并不是尾指针和头指针相同,可能是在中间某一段形成一个环路,所以不能只判断元素和第一个元素是否存在重合

先设置两个指针p_fast和p_slow。从头开始遍历链表,p_fast每次走两个节点,而p_slow每次走一个节点,若存在循环,这两个指针必定重合:

 1 /**
 2  * Definition for singly-linked list.
 3  * struct ListNode {
 4  *     int val;
 5  *     ListNode *next;
 6  *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 7  * };
 8  */
 9 class Solution {
10 public:
11     bool hasCycle(ListNode *head) {
12         if(head == NULL) return false;
13         
14         ListNode *p_fast = head;
15         ListNode *p_slow = head;
16         
17         do{
18             p_slow = p_slow->next;
19             if(p_fast != NULL)
20                 p_fast = p_fast->next;
21             if(p_fast != NULL)
22                 p_fast = p_fast->next;
23             else
24                 return false;
25         }while(p_fast != p_slow);
26         
27         return true;
28         
29     }
30 };
