Answer / sanyam
the approach is to mark the nodes starting from the head.and
follow the links.
in the process if you find a node already marked then there
is loop.

Answer / priya
same logic as 3rd answer..
typedef struct node
{ int data,mark; /*mark is all initialised to 0*/
node *next;
}node;
node* findloop(node* start)
{
node *p=start;
while(p)
{
if(p->mark==0)
{
p->mark=1;
p=p->next;
}
else
{
return p;
}
}
return p;
}

since that's the oly condition for presence of a loop in the
LL.. and return shud b a false after d while loop!!!

Answer / zameer arif
You are right. In the loop, return should be true. outside
the loop, false.
