Linked List Cycle

Given a linked list, determine if it has a cycle in it.

To represent a cycle in the given linked list, we use an integer pos which represents the position (0-indexed) in the linked list where tail connects to. If pos is -1, then there is no cycle in the linked list.

Example 1:

Input: head = [3,2,0,-4], pos = 1
Output: true
Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where tail connects to the second node.

Example 2:

Input: head = [1,2], pos = 0
Output: true
Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where tail connects to the first node.

Example 3:

Input: head = [1], pos = -1
Output: false
Explanation: There is no cycle in the linked list.

ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

Solution :

No of variables should be equal to no of elements in sequence or tuple.

Example :

data = [25,"Satya","G",(8,31,2010)]
age,fname,lname,dob = data
print("My name ",fname+lname," and age ",age," dob ",dob)
age,fname,lname,(month,day,year) = data
print("My name ",fname+lname," and age ",age," and year i born :",year)
