Interview was schedule in the afternoon on weekend.
The interviewer made me feel good and and was very interactive and helping me out with the questions.
1. Cycle Detection in a Singly Linked List
Moderate
15m average time
80% success
0/80
Asked in companies
You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. Return true if it has a cycle, else return false.
A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list.
Example:
In the given linked list, there is a cycle, hence we return true.
Problem approach
Step 1 : I tried using hash set first to store the elements in it as we traverse through linked list and if encounter with the same element again then their exists a loop.
Step 2 : The above solution will work only if we have all unique elements. So, interviewer asked me to do it considering duplicates.
Step 3 : Then instead of elements I thought of putting the address values of elements in the list.
Step 4 : Then interview said to optimize the space complexity as we are using extra space
Step 5 : I tried to find the solution but couldn't. But anyways interviewer was happy with how I fought for it.
