Java Program to Implement Brent Cycle Algorithm

This is a Java Program to Implement Brent Cycle Algorithm. Cycle detection is the algorithmic problem of finding a cycle in a sequence of iterated function values. Brent Cycle Algorithm is an alternative cycle detection algorithm that, like the tortoise and hare algorithm, requires only two pointers into the sequence.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement Brent Cycle Algorithm . The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
