(choose chapter or problem)

A linked list contains a cycle if, starting from some node p, following a sufficientnumber of next links brings us back to node p. p does not have to be the first nodein the list. Assume that you are given a linked list that contains N nodes. However,the value of N is unknown.a. Design an O(N) algorithm to determine if the list contains a cycle. You may useO(N) extra space. b. Repeat part (a), but use only O(1) extra space. (Hint: Use two iterators that areinitially at the start of the list, but advance at different speeds.)
