Notes: | |
There are N gas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at station i is gas[i]. | |
You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costs cost[i] of gas to travel from station i to its next station (i+1). You begin the journey with an empty tank at one of the gas stations. | |
Return the starting gas station's index if you can travel around the circuit once, otherwise return -1. | |
The solution is guaranteed to be unique. | |

public:

min = sum;
res = i;
