cpp detect cycle in linked list

Comment

// my solution might look lengthy but go it is made in a way to give you idea about
// --making a linked list with a cycle and detecting it, using a beautiful easy algorithm.
//AIGHT bru, LESSGO!
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
class node{
	public:
		int data;
		node* next;
		node(int val)
		{
			data=val;
			next=NULL;
		}
};//creating linked list.
void insertatend(node* head, int val)
{
	node*n=new node(val);
	if(head==NULL) 
	{
		head=n;
		return;
	}
	node* temp=head;

class ListNode:
    def __init__(self, val=0):
        self.val = val
        self.next = None

def has_cycle(head):
    if not head or not head.next:
        return False

    slow = head
    fast = head.next

    while slow != fast:
        if not fast or not fast.next:
            return False
        slow = slow.next
        fast = fast.next.next

    return True
