Linked List Cycles
Explore strategies to detect cycles in linked lists by tracking nodes or using two pointers moving at different speeds. Understand the time and space complexities of each approach and learn why the two-pointer technique is efficient and adaptable for algorithm interviews.

Linked List Cycles
Instructions
Describe a function that can detect the presence of loops in a Linked List. Rather than writing an actual function, describe the strategy you would employ.
Input: Linked List
Output: Boolean
Hints
A Linked List is an ordered, linear structure, similar to an array. Instead of items being placed at indices, however, they are connected through a chain of references, with each item containing a reference to the next item. ...
