Can you solve it without using extra space?
Solution:
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* class ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode next;
* ListNode(int x) {
* val = x;
* next = null;
* }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public ListNode detectCycle(ListNode head) {
ListNode slow = head, fast = head;
while (fast != null && fast.next != null) {
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next.next;
if (slow == fast)
break;
}
if (fast == null || fast.next == null)
return null;
slow = head;
while (slow != fast) {
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next;
}
return slow;
}
}
