134. 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.
public class Solution {
public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost) {
if (gas.length==0 || cost.length==0) return -1;
int total=0, partial_total=0, res=0;
for (int i=0; i<gas.length; i++){
total+= gas[i]- cost[i];
partial_total+= gas[i]-cost[i];
if (partial_total<0){
partial_total=0;
res=i+1;
}
}
return total>=0 ? res : -1;
