Floyd’s Cycle Detection Algorithm is a pointer algorithm that uses two pointers moving at different speeds to detect a cycle in a sequence of values, typically in a linked list. It is one of the most elegant solutions to the cycle detection problem and operates with O(n) time and O(1) space complexity. This technique was … Read more
Floyd’s Cycle Detection Algorithm (Tortoise and Hare method)
One of the most important concepts when designing and analyzing algorithms is time complexity. It measures the amount of time an algorithm takes to run relative to the size of its input. Time complexity helps us predict how an algorithm will scale and perform as the input grows, which is crucial when working with large … Read more
