- Q1. How you find loop in a linked list
- Ans.
To find a loop in a linked list, we use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.
Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.

To detect the meeting point, we reset one of the pointers to the head of the linked list and move both pointers at the same speed.
The meeting point is the start of the loop.
