In this episode, we solve Cracking the Coding Interview Problem Loop Detection where we are given a linked list that might contain a loop and asked to locate the loop. We solve this in O(n) linear runtime and O(1) memory using the runner method with 2 pointers. A fast and a slow pointers.
Watch and enjoy.

Problem Statement:
Loop Detection: Given a linked list which might contain a loop, implement an algorithm that returns the node at the beginning of the loop (if one exists).
EXAMPLE
Input: A - B - C - D - C [the same C as earlier]
Output: C
Hints:
There are really two parts to this problem. First, detect if the linked list has a loop. Second, figure out where the loop starts.
Try the “runner” method. Using a fast and a slow pointer.
