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.
Note:
The solution is guaranteed to be unique.
class Solution {
public:
int canCompleteCircuit(vector<int>& gas, vector<int>& cost) {
if(gas.size()==0 || cost.size()==0 || gas.size()!=cost.size()) return -1;
int sum = 0;
int total = 0;
int start = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < gas.size(); i++)
{
total += gas[i]-cost[i];
if(sum<0)
{
sum = gas[i]-cost[i];
start = i;
}
else
sum += gas[i]-cost[i];
}
return total<0? -1:start;
