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) {
// Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case.
int total = 0,sum = 0,diff = 0;;
int j = -1;
for(int i = 0;i<gas.size();i++)
{
diff = gas[i]-cost[i];
total += diff;
sum += diff;
if(sum < 0)
{
j = i;
sum = 0;
}
}
return (total >=0)?j+1:-1;
}
};
