Gas Station
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.
size_t i,j;
vector<int> left;
int sum=0;
for(i=0;i<gas.size();i++){
left.push_back(gas[i]-cost[i]);
sum+=left[i];
}
if(sum<0){
return -1;
}
for(i=0;i<gas.size();i++){
j=i;
sum=0;
while(1){
sum+=left[j];
j++;
if(j==gas.size()){
j=0;
