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
Initialize two pointers at the head. Move the slow pointer one step at a time. Move the fast pointer two steps at a time. If slow equals fast at any point, a cycle is detected. If fast or fast.next is null, there is no cycle.
2. Print Fibonacci Series

Asked in companies
Given an integer ‘n’, return first n Fibonacci numbers using a generator function.
Example:
Input: ‘n’ = 5
Output: 0 1 1 2 3
Explanation: First 5 Fibonacci numbers are: 0, 1, 1, 2, and 3.
Note:
You don't need to print anything. Just implement the given function.
Problem approach
- We declared three variables: a, b, and c.
- The next number is the sum of the previous two numbers.
- c = a + b.
- The loop runs until n - 2, and the values are updated accordingly.
