Explanation of Solution

Algorithm to compare two circularly linked lists is same:

The algorithm to compare two circularly linked lists "L" and "M" are same sequence of elements given below:

Algorithm:

Input: Two circularly linked list "L" and "M".

Output: Return true when two circular linked lists "L" and "M" are same sequence of elements. Otherwise, return false.

equal(L :Circularly linked list, M Circularly linked list):

//Create new node for list "L" and "M"

Create a new node "a" and "b"

/*Call getHead() method using circularly linked list "L" to assign the head of list as "a". */

a = L.getHead();

/*Call getHead() method using circularly linked list "M" to assign the head of list as "b". */

b = M.getHead();

/*Loop executes until the next node of list is not equal to "null" for both lists. */

while (a.getNext()!= null || b.getNext()!= null)

{

/*Loop executes until both list elements are not equal. */

while(a.getElement() != b.getElement())

//Assign next node as "b"

b = b.getNext();

//Assign next node as "a"

a = a.getNext();

/*Call getHead() method using circularly linked list "M" to reassign the head of list as "b". */

b = M...
