- 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.

- Ans.
An ArrayList is a dynamic array in Java that can grow or shrink in size during runtime.
ArrayList is a class in Java's Collection framework.
It implements the List interface and allows duplicate elements.
