题目:给定一个单链表,判断链表是否存在环路(能否不使用额外内存空间)
算法:快慢指针
原理:每次,快指针走一步,慢指针走两步,若链表存在循环,则快慢指针最终必定会在某个节点汇合,否则直到遍历完整个链表都不会汇合
/** * Definition for singly-linked list. * class ListNode { * int val; * ListNode next; * ListNode(int x) { * val = x; * next = null; * } * } */ public class Solution { public boolean hasCycle(ListNode head) { if (null==head || null==head.next) { return false; } ListNode fast = head; // fast pointer take one step ListNode slow = head.next.next; // slow pointer take two steps while (null!=fast && null!=slow) { if (fast == slow) { // fast pointer meet slow pointer, it means list has cycle! return true; } if (null == slow.next) { // it mean slow pointer has reach the list tail! No cycle! return false; } else { fast = fast.next; slow = slow.next.next; } } return false; } }
