[Leetcode] Linked List Cycle

Given a linked list, determine if it has a cycle in it.
Follow up:
Can you solve it without using extra space?
Analysis:
Use a fast and slow pointer and list has a cycle if two pointers encounter.

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    bool hasCycle(ListNode *head) {
        ListNode* fast = head;
        ListNode* slow = head;
        while(fast != NULL && fast->next != NULL)
        {
            fast = fast->next->next;
            slow = slow->next;
            if (fast == slow)
                break;
        }
        
        return fast != NULL && fast->next != NULL;
    }
};
