题目来源:

Given a linked list, return the node where the cycle begins. If there is no cycle, return null.

解题思路:

跟一样,运用快慢指针, 先判断是否存在环。然后再找环的起点。 假设存在环,不妨设这个带环的链表长成这个样子(将就看):

s-------a->-------
        |        |
        |-<-c----|

如图示,链表起点s, a是环开始的点,假设快慢指针第一次相遇的点在c处。我们将这个环分为3段,

  1. s-->a: 链表起点到还的起点,假设距离为a;

  2. a-->c: 环的起点到快慢指针首次相交的点c,设距离为b;

  3. c-->a: 快慢指针首次相交的点,再转回环起点a的距离设为c;

那么,得到环的长度为b+c, 到快慢指针首次相交时,快/慢指针走的距离设fast/slow分别为:

  • fast = a + b + n*(b + c), n >= 1, (可能快指针比慢指针多走了不止1圈)

  • slow = a + b

又因为fast每次走两步,slow每次走一步,所以有

fast = 2 * slow 
a + b + n*(b+c) = 2 * (a+b)
(n-1)*(b+c) + (b+c) = a+b
(n-1)*(b+c) + c = a;

观察这个式子,若首次相交时,将fast指针若回到链表头,然后fast、slow都一步一步走,那么他们将在哪相遇?

fast走到a时,slow恰好走了(n-1)圈+c,刚好回到了环起点a处。

因此首次相遇后,再次相遇的点即为环的起点。

代码如下:

    ListNode *detectCycle(ListNode *head) 
    {
        if(head == NULL || head->next == NULL) return NULL;
        ListNode * fast = head;
        ListNode * slow = head;
        while(fast != NULL && fast->next != NULL)
        {
            fast = fast->next->next;
            slow = slow->next;
            if(fast == slow) //find intersection node
            {
                fast = head;
                while(fast != slow)
                {
                    fast = fast->next;
                    slow = slow->next;
                }
                return fast;
            }
        }
        return NULL;
    }
