You are given a single linked list, and you are asked to determine if there is a circle inside it
A circle means, a -> b -> c -> b, then it is a circle

Part 2.
Could you get the length of the circle for the input single linked list if there is one, 
or output 0 if there is no circle? (O(1) space and O(n) time complexity)

A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F -> D
|T|H|
|A|B|
|B|D|
|C|F|
|D|E|
|E|D|

Part 3.
could you find the entry point of the circle?
which means the point A for (a->b->c->a)
