It's possible if u modify the definition of the node itself. add one variable ..let's say:IsVisited for every node. initialized to false.And while traversing the list make it true. Now traverse it and check whether head-next is true or false. If true return . But in this process original Linked

If you allow storing an extra bit with every node (to mark whether a node has been visited), you can do it with just one pointer. But that's less space efficient (O(n)) than using two pointers of varying speeds. On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 9:04 AM, Ankur Garg ankurga...@gmail.com wrote: U cant

if u cant create new ptrsthen i think horse and tortoise strategy will fail. then you can only modify the linked lists to detect the loop. one other strategy could be to reverse the linked list.after reversing the linked list, if you arrive at the head itself then the list
