题解:?
# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.val = x
# self.next = None
class Solution:
def detectCycle(self, head: ListNode) -> ListNode:
fast = slow = head
while fast != None and fast.next != None:
fast = fast.next.next
slow = slow.next
if slow == fast:
break
if fast == None or fast.next == None:
return None
slow = head
while slow != fast:
slow = slow.next
fast = fast.next
return slow
解题思路:和141环形链表类似的,这题也采用双指针来解。
显然从141环形链表来看,我们知道fast指针走两步,slow指针走一步,那么,如果slow指针走了k步和fast指针相遇,那么fast指针肯定走了2k步。借用labuladong老师的图:???????
?从环的起始点,到fast和slow相遇点,假设距离为m,那么从head开始,到入环的起始节点距离为k-m;从相遇点到入环的起始节点距离也是k-m。

?所以,可以采取的方式是,当fast指针和slow指针相遇后,将slow指针再指向head, 然后slow指针和fast指针以同样的速度走,当slow和fast指针相遇时,就说明到了环的起始位置。
