Check whether there exists a loop in the linked list or not.

Problem approach

I used two pointer approach (fast and slow). Put slow to head and fast to next of head.Slow was moving one by one and fast was covering 2 nodes at a time and if both the pointers meet at some point then there is a loop in linked list.

ThalesThoughts2Binary Consulting & SolutionsAmdocs

I had 2 integers which I had to multiply with each other and had to store the result in an integer only by handling the overflow condition.

Problem approach
  • Basic approach was easy, you will have to check whether the multiplication will result in a number which lies in the range of integer only and if it does not lie within its range then we have to store the result in long data type variable. The interviewer asked me to write it's code and I wrote clean and commented code, which was running on all test cases given by the interviewer. He was pretty satisfied with my solution.
