457. Circular Array Loop

You are given an array of positive and negative integers. If a number n at an index is positive, then move forward n steps. Conversely, if it’s negative (-n), move backward n steps. Assume the first element of the array is forward next to the last element, and the last element is backward next to the first element. Determine if there is a loop in this array. A loop starts and ends at a particular index with more than 1 element along the loop. The loop must be “forward” or “backward’.

Example 1: Given the array [2, -1, 1, 2, 2], there is a loop, from index 0 -> 2 -> 3 -> 0.

Example 2: Given the array [-1, 2], there is no loop.

Note: The given array is guaranteed to contain no element “0”.

Can you do it in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity?

class Solution {
    int[] arr;
    public boolean circularArrayLoop(int[] nums) {
        arr = nums;
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            if (nums[i] == 0) 
                continue;
            //two pointers
            int j = i, k = i;
            while (nums[i] * nums[shift(k)] > 0 && nums[i] * nums[shift(shift(k))] > 0) {
                j = shift(j);
                k = shift(shift(k));
                if (j == k) {
                    // check for loop with only one element
                    if (j == shift(j)) 
                        break;
                    return true;
                }
            }
            // loop not found, set all element along the way to 0not necessary

        }
        return false;
    }

    public int shift(int pos) {
        return ( pos + arr[pos] + arr.length ) % arr.length;
    }
}
