    • Traverse the linked list using two pointers, one moving one step at a time and the other moving two steps at a time.

    • If the two pointers meet at any point, it indicates the presence of a cycle in the linked list.

    • If one of the pointers reaches the end of the list (null), it means there is no cycle.
