Is a loop ? Question descrip as follows :
Assume that wehave a head pointer to a link-list. Also assumethat we know the list is single-linked. Can you come up an algorithm to checkwhether this link list includes a loop by using O(n) time and O(1) space wheren
is the length of the list? Furthermore, can you do so with O(n) time and onlyone register?
