int CountNode_LoopList (list *head)
{
    list *ptr1, *ptr2;
    ptr1 = ptr2 = head;
    static int count = 1;
    while(ptr2 && ptr2->next)
    {
        ptr2 = ptr2->next->next;
        ptr1 = ptr1->next ;
        if (ptr1 == ptr2)  
        {
            ptr2 = head;
            while (ptr2 != ptr1)
            {
                ptr1 = ptr1->next ;
                ptr2 = ptr2->next ;
            }
            break;
        }
    }
    ptr1 = ptr2->next;
    while (ptr2 != ptr1)
    {
        count++;

Step 1: user two pointers (p1 and p2) both are pointing to head. 
             And counter as integer initialized as zero.
Step 2: p1 = p1.next;
              p2 = p2.next.next;

Step 3: while (p1 != p2) 
              {
                      p1=p1.next;
                      p2=p2.next.next;
              }

Step 4: Now calculate the loop size
              p2  = p2.next;
              while (p1 != p2) 
              {
                      p2=p2.next;
                      counter++;
              }

Step 5: return counter;
