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.
分析
最容易想到的方法是,用一个哈希表unordered_map<int, bool> visited,记录每个元素是否被访问过,一旦出现某个元素被重复访问,说明存在环。空间复杂度O(n),时间复杂度O(N)。
最好的方法是时间复杂度O(n),空间复杂度O(1)的。设置两个指针,一个快一个慢,快的指针每次走两步,慢的指针每次走一步,如果快指针和慢指针相遇,则说明有环。
