Linked List Cycle Detection
Determine if a given singly linked list of integers forms a cycle.
Explanation:
A cycle in a linked list occurs when a node's next reference points back to a previous node in the list, transforming the structure from a linear layout into a loop.
Input:
The first line contains the elements of the singly linked list separated by a space, ending with -1 to indicate termination.
The second line provides an integer "pos", the position (0-indexed) where the tail of the linked list connects back in the list. A "pos" value of -1 indicates there is no cycle.
Output:
Return 'true' if the linked list contains a cycle, otherwise return 'false'. The output handling is managed internally.
Example:
Input:
3 2 0 -4 -1
1
Output:
true
Constraints:
0 <= N <= 10^6
-1 <= pos < N
-10^9 <= data <= 10^9
anddata ≠ -1
Note: Attempt to solve this problem with O(N) time complexity and O(1) space complexity.
