题目:
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.
解答:
首先很容易理解,想要走完全部最好的就是在每个地方都把所有能加的汽油都加满,这个应该是毋庸置疑的。
其次就是选定起始点,直接线性遍历即可,起始点需要满足gas[i] >= cost[i]
然后就是剪枝,如果从j位置开始,在位置k发现不能继续向前,那么在j到k之间的加油站(包含k)是肯定不能满足的(仔细思考一下就能理解了)
class Solution {
public:
int canCompleteCircuit(vector<int>& gas, vector<int>& cost) {
int size = gas.size();
for(int i = 0;i < size;++i)
{
if(cost[i] > gas[i])
continue;
int curGas = gas[i] - cost[i];
bool tag = true;
int j;
for(j = (i + 1) % size;j != i; j = (j + 1) % size)
{
if(curGas + gas[j] - cost[j] < 0)
{
tag = false;
break;
}
curGas = curGas + gas[j] - cost[j];
}
if(tag)
return i;
else
i = max(i,j);//为了防止由于轮转回到前面已经测试过的点
}
return -1;
}
};
