            b = b == null ? headA : b.next;

    public boolean hasCycle(ListNode head) {
        // write your code here
        if(head == null || head.next == null) {
            return false;
        }
        ListNode slow = head, fast = head.next;
        while(slow != fast) {
            if(fast == null || fast.next == null) {
                return false;
            }
            slow = slow.next;
            fast = fast.next.next;
        }
        return true;
    }
