There exists another way to detect loop more faster but only using two 
variables.
The algorithm is described as simply "B goes forward a steps only A goes 
forwards 2 steps".
For example:
1)
    1   2  3  4   5   6     7
    |             \             /
    |                \------/
   A, B
2)
    1  2  3  4   5   6     7
     |   |        \             /
    B   A        \------/
  3)
    1  2  3  4   5   6     7
        |    |     \             /
       B   A      \------/
   4)
    1  2  3  4   5   6     7
        |       |\             /
       B      A \------/
5)....

B will equal A or beyoud A if and only if there has a cycle.
It's a more faster algorithm. :D

Thanks,
