Cracking Coding Interviews: A Key Technique Revealed

The latest installment in the "Cracking the Coding Interview" series has shed light on a crucial technique for solving problems involving cycles in data structures. The Fast and Slow Pointer method, also known as Floyd's Tortoise and Hare, is an efficient way to detect cycles, find middle points, and solve various other problems.

This technique involves using two pointers that move at different speeds, allowing for the detection of cycles and middle elements in a single traversal. The article provides examples and explanations of how this method can be applied to real-world problems.
