[Leetcode 141 & 142, medium] Linked List Cycle (I and II)

Problem:

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

Follow up:
Can you solve it without using extra space?

II: 

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

Follow up:
Can you solve it without using extra space?

Solutions:

A typical problem which can be solved by two pointers, one of which is faster and the other one is slower.

Program:

I (Accepted in one time)

bool hasCycle(ListNode *head) {
        if(head==NULL) return false;
        if(head->next==NULL) return false;
        if(head->next==head) return true;
        
        ListNode *slow=head, *fast=head->next->next;
        while(1){
            if(fast==slow) return true;
            if(fast==NULL || fast->next==NULL || fast->next->next==NULL) return false;
            slow=slow->next;
            fast=fast->next->next;
        }
    }

II

ListNode *detectCycle(ListNode *head) {
        if(head==NULL) return NULL;
        if(head->next==NULL) return NULL;
        if(head->next==head) return head;
        
        ListNode *slow=head, *fast=head;
        while(fast!=NULL && fast->next!=NULL){
            slow=slow->next;
            fast=fast->next->next;
            if(fast==slow) break;
        }
        if(fast==NULL || fast->next==NULL) return NULL;
        //Find the intersection node.
        slow=head;
        while(fast!=slow){
            slow=slow->next;
            fast=fast->next;
        }
        return fast;
    }
