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.
c++:
class Solution {
public:
int canCompleteCircuit(vector<int> &gas, vector<int> &cost) {
int size = gas.size();
int sum = 0;
int index = 0;
int i;
int sumg = 0;
int sumc = 0;
for(i = 0;i < size;i ++)
{
sumg += gas[i];
sumc += cost[i];
sum = sum + gas[i] - cost[i];
if(sum < 0)
{
sum = 0;
index = i + 1;
}
}
if(sumg < sumc)
{
return -1;
}
return index % size;
}
};
