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.
