Leetcode题解142- Linked List Cycle II(C++)

题目:

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

Note: Do not modify the linked list.

Follow up:
Can you solve it without using extra space?

思路:

快慢双指针,快指针移动两个距离,慢指针每次移动一个距离。如有环,则快慢指针肯定会相遇。

要确定环的入口点,需要确定两个指针移动的距离之间的关系。L1为头结点到环入口点的长度,L2为环入口点到相遇点的长度,C为环的长度。在相遇点,快指针移动了L1+L2+n*C,n为循环的圈数。慢指针移动了L1+L2。 则有2(L1+L2) = L1+L2+n*C, 得到 L1 = (n-1)C + (C-L2) 即为所求距离。所以现在令entry指针从头结点出发,slow指针从相遇点出发,当这两个指针相遇时,所指向的结点即为入口结点。

代码:

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    ListNode *detectCycle(ListNode *head) {
        if(head == NULL) return NULL;
        ListNode* fast = head;
        ListNode* slow = head;
        ListNode* entry = head;
        while(fast->next && fast->next->next){
            fast = fast->next->next;
            slow = slow->next;
            if(fast == slow){
                while(slow != entry){
                    slow = slow->next;
                    entry = entry->next;
                }
                return entry;
            }
        }
        return NULL;
    }
};
