Here is the interview question prompt, presented for reference.
What is the best way to find out if a linked list contains a loop? You're given the following data structure as the definition of a linked list node:
class LinkedListNode {
constructor(val) {
this.val = val;
this.next = null;
}
}
A loop or a cycle in graph theory is a path of nodes and edges where a node is reachable from itself.
Implement a detectLoop method that takes a linked list head node as the parameter and returns true or false depending on whether there's a cycle.
10000-1000000000 and 1000000000O(n)O(1)You can see the full challenge with visuals at this link.
