Problem URL: Linked list cycle

We will take two pointer, fast and slow. Fast goes twice as fast as slow. Then we run both pointers at the same time, if there is a cycle, then this two pointers will meet, else we will goes to the last pointer and return false.

from typing import Optional

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None

class Solution:
    def hasCycle(self, head: Optional[ListNode]) -> bool:
        slow, fast = head, head
        while fast and fast.next:
            slow = slow.next
            fast = fast.next.next
            if slow == fast:
                return True
        return False
