Given a linked list of N nodes. The task is to check if the linked list has a loop. Linked list can contain self loop.
Example 1:
Input: N = 3 value[] = {1,3,4} x(position at which tail is connected) = 2 Output: True Explanation: In above test case N = 3. The linked list with nodes N = 3 is given. Then value of x=2 is given which means last node is connected with xth node of linked list. Therefore, there exists a loop.
Example 2:
Input:
N = 4
value[] = {1,8,3,4}
x = 0
Output: False
Explanation: For N = 4 ,x = 0 means
then lastNode->next = NULL, then
the Linked list does not contains
any loop.
Your Task:
The task is to complete the function detectloop() which contains reference to the head as only argument. This function should return true if linked list contains loop, else return false.
Expected Time Complexity: O(N)
Expected Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Constraints:
1 ≤ N ≤ 104
1 ≤ Data on Node ≤ 103
