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.

题目:在一个环上有N个加油站。站 i 有 gas[i] 的油。
你有一辆汽车有无限大小的油箱,它从站 i 到站 i+1 要耗cost[i] 的油。你以空油箱从当中的一个站出发。
假设你转了一圈,返回起始油站的索引,否则返回-1.
思路:先计算车到达每一个加油站时加油站的油量和汽车消耗的油量之差。假设之差小于0,则说明汽车至少要从下一站出发。由于从本站出发的话。就到达不了下一站。假设总的之差小于0,则车无法完毕一圈。
public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost) { int minus = 0, total = 0, index = -1; for (int i = 0; i < gas.length; i++) { minus += gas[i] - cost[i]; total += minus; if (minus < 0) { index = i; minus = 0; } } return total < 0 ?-1 : index + 1; }
