Cycle Detection Algorithms

As we have already seen various algorithms to detect a cycle in a linked list. In this article we are going to explore some more cycle detection algorithms in general.

A cycle in a data structure as we have already seen is a condition with no end.

Here are a few popular cycle detection algorithms:

Floyd's cycle detection algorithm
Brent’s Cycle Detection Algorithm

Both of these algorithms are used to find the cycle in a linked list.Both of the algorithms use the slow and fast pointer approach ...
