【LeetCode】2.Linked List — Linked List Cycle II 链表环2

Given a linked list, return the node where the cycle begins. If there is no cycle, return null.

To represent a cycle in the given linked list, we use an integer pos which represents the position (0-indexed) in the linked list where tail connects to. If pos is -1, then there is no cycle in the linked list.

Note: Do not modify the linked list.

Example 1:

Input: head = [3,2,0,-4], pos = 1
Output: tail connects to node index 1
Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where tail connects to the second node.

Example 2:

Input: head = [1,2], pos = 0
Output: tail connects to node index 0
Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where tail connects to the first node.

Example 3:

Input: head = [1], pos = -1
Output: no cycle
Explanation: There is no cycle in the linked list.

Can you solve it without using extra space?

判断环的起始位置，我们还是设置两个不同步长的指针，步长相差为1，经理M步之后相遇，M即为圈的长度。然后我们将两个指针重置为head。其中一个p指针用于定位，另一个q用于遍历，当遍历指针经过M步遍历后回到p，则p为循环开始处。

        ListNode *q=head;
        int counter=0;
        while(p!=NULL&&p->next!=NULL)

            }
        }
         return NULL;
    }
};
