I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Dec 2016. There were 5 interview rounds.

Interview Questionnaire 

3 Questions

  • 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.

    • If there is a loop in the linked list, the two pointers will eventually meet.

    • 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.
