It was in the day time. I was asked the programming language of my choice. It was mostly focused on programming fundamentals. I was asked 2 questions based on Data Structures and Algorithms.

  • Q1. How can you detect a loop in a linked list?
  • Ans. 

    A loop in a linked list can be detected using Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm.

    • Use two pointers - slow and fast, where slow moves one step at a time and fast moves two steps at a time.

    • If there is a loop, the two pointers will eventually meet at some point within the loop.

    • To detect the start of the loop, reset one pointer to the head and move both pointers one step at a time until they meet again.
