title: '141. Linked List Cycle'
description: Given head, the head of a linked list, determine if the linked list has a cycle in it
sidebar:
label: 'Linked List Cycle'
badge: 'Easy'
---
<Badge variant="accent">Hash Table</Badge>
::::warning
Can you solve it using O(1) (i.e. constant) memory?
::::
### Example 1:
- Input: `head = [3,2,0,-4], pos = 1`
- Output: `true`
- Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where the tail connects to the 1st node (0-indexed).
### Example 2:
- Input: `head = [1,2], pos = 0`
- Output: `true`
- Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where the tail connects to the 0th node.
### Example 3:
- Input: `head = [1], pos = -1`
- Output: `false`
- Explanation: There is no cycle in the linked list.
### Constraints:
- The number of the nodes in the list is in the range [0, 10^4].
- `-10^5 <= Node.val <= 10^5`
- pos is -1 or a valid index in the linked-list.
## Approach
```mermaid
flowchart TD
S(["hasCycle(head)"]) --> I["fast = slow = head"]
I --> W{"fast and fast.next?"}
W -- no --> E(["return False — ran off the end, no cycle"])
W -- yes --> A["fast = fast.next.next — two steps"]
A --> B["slow = slow.next — one step"]
B --> Q{"fast is slow?"}
Q -- yes --> R(["return True — the gap closed, so it loops"])
Q -- no --> W
```
## Solution
```py
# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.val = x
# self.next = None
class Solution:
def hasCycle(self, head: Optional[ListNode]) -> bool:
fast = slow = head
while fast and fast.next:
fast = fast.next.next
slow = slow.next
if fast is slow:
return True
return False
```

title: '206. Reverse Linked List'
description: Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list
sidebar:
label: 'Reverse Linked List'
badge: 'Easy'
---
<Badge variant="accent">Linked List</Badge>
::::warning
A linked list can be reversed either iteratively or recursively. Could you implement both?
::::
### Example 1:
- Input: `head = [1,2,3,4,5]`
- Output: `[5,4,3,2,1]`
### Example 2:
- Input: `head = [1,2]`
- Output: `[2,1]`
### Example 3:
- Input: `head = []`
- Output: `[]`
### Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the list is the range [0, 5000].
- `-5000 <= Node.val <= 5000`
## Approach
```mermaid
flowchart TD
S(["reverseList(head)"]) --> I["prev = None, curr = head"]
I --> W{"curr?"}
W -- no --> E(["return prev — the old tail is the new head"])
W -- yes --> A["next_ = curr.next — save it before overwriting"]
A --> B["curr.next = prev — flip the link"]
B --> C["prev = curr; curr = next_ — step forward"]
C --> W
```
## Solution
```py
# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
# def __init__(self, val=0, next=None):
# self.val = val
# self.next = next
class Solution:
def reverseList(self, head: Optional[ListNode]) -> Optional[ListNode]:
prev = None
curr = head
while curr:
next_ = curr.next
curr.next = prev
prev = curr
curr = next_
return prev
```

title: '21. Merge Two Sorted Lists'
description: You are given the heads of two sorted linked lists list1 and list2
sidebar:
label: 'Merge Two Sorted Lists'
badge: 'Easy'
---
<Badge variant="accent">Linked List</Badge>
### Example 1:
- Input: `list1 = [1,2,4], list2 = [1,3,4]`
- Output: `[1,1,2,3,4,4]`
### Example 2:
- Input: `list1 = [], list2 = []`
- Output: `[]`
### Example 3:
- Input: `list1 = [], list2 = [0]`
- Output: `[0]`
### Constraints:
- The number of nodes in both lists is in the range [0, 50].
- `-100 <= Node.val <= 100`
- Both list1 and list2 are sorted in non-decreasing order.
## Approach
```mermaid
flowchart TD
S(["mergeTwoLists(list1, list2)"]) --> G1{"list1 empty?"}
G1 -- yes --> X1(["return list2"])
G1 -- no --> G2{"list2 empty?"}
G2 -- yes --> X2(["return list1"])
G2 -- no --> H["head = the smaller first node; advance that list"]
H --> C["current = head"]
C --> W{"list1 and list2 both non-empty?"}
W -- yes --> P["current.next = the smaller node; advance that list; current = current.next"]
P --> W
W -- no --> T["current.next = list1 or list2 — append the leftover tail"]
T --> E(["return head"])
```
## Solution
```py
# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
# def __init__(self, val=0, next=None):
# self.val = val
# self.next = next
class Solution:
def mergeTwoLists(
self, list1: Optional[ListNode], list2: Optional[ListNode]
) -> Optional[ListNode]:
if not list1:
return list2
if not list2:
return list1
if list1.val < list2.val:
head = list1
list1 = list1.next
else:
head = list2
list2 = list2.next
current = head
while list1 and list2:
if list1.val < list2.val:
current.next = list1
list1 = list1.next
else:
current.next = list2
list2 = list2.next
current = current.next
current.next = list1 or list2
return head
