Given a linked list, return the node where the cycle begins. If there is no cycle, return null.
To represent a cycle in the given linked list, we use an integer pos which represents the position (0-indexed) in the linked list where tail connects to. If pos is -1, then there is no cycle in the linked list.
Note: Do not modify the linked list.
这道题太经典了,找带环链表环的入口处。判断一个链表是否有环,我们只需要用快慢指针,当两个指针相遇即可判断存在环。这时候再将慢指针回退到表头,快指针从相遇节点开始,两个指针均已1的步伐前进,当他们再次相遇时,相遇点即链表环的入口。
