Linked List Cycle II
Given a linked list, return the node where the cycle begins. If there is no cycle, return null

Can you solve it without using extra space?
解析:其实解题思路比较数学化,流程如下
1. 使用快慢指针,若指针相遇,则确定有环。
2. 若快指针与慢指针相遇,则让第二个慢指针从起点开始出发。
3. 两个慢指针同时前进,最后会在环的交汇点相遇。如果想不明白可以自己画图琢磨一下。
代码:
/**
* 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) {
if(head==null||head.next==null)return null;
ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
dummy.next = head;
ListNode fast = dummy;
ListNode slow = dummy;
ListNode marker = dummy;
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;
else
{
while(true)
{
slow = slow.next;
marker = marker.next;
if(slow==marker)return marker;
}
}
}
}
