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 in the clockwise direction, otherwise return -1.
Note:
- If there exists a solution, it is guaranteed to be unique.
- Both input arrays are non-empty and have the same length.
- Each element in the input arrays is a non-negative integer.
Example 1:
Input:
gas = [1,2,3,4,5]
cost = [3,4,5,1,2]
Output: 3
Explanation:
Start at station 3 (index 3) and fill up with 4 unit of gas. Your tank = 0 + 4 = 4
Travel to station 4. Your tank = 4 - 1 + 5 = 8
Travel to station 0. Your tank = 8 - 2 + 1 = 7
Travel to station 1. Your tank = 7 - 3 + 2 = 6
Travel to station 2. Your tank = 6 - 4 + 3 = 5
Travel to station 3. The cost is 5. Your gas is just enough to travel back to station 3.
Therefore, return 3 as the starting index.
Example 2:
Input:
gas = [2,3,4]
cost = [3,4,3]
Output: -1
Explanation:
You can't start at station 0 or 1, as there is not enough gas to travel to the next station.
Let's start at station 2 and fill up with 4 unit of gas. Your tank = 0 + 4 = 4
Travel to station 0. Your tank = 4 - 3 + 2 = 3
Travel to station 1. Your tank = 3 - 3 + 3 = 3
You cannot travel back to station 2, as it requires 4 unit of gas but you only have 3.
Therefore, you can't travel around the circuit once no matter where you start.
根据题意:找出能从某个点开始并顺时针一圈后能返回改位置的节点,强制遍历方法如下:
public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost) {
//res表示开始的点
int res = -1;
//当前所拥有的天然气
int tmp = 0;
for(int index=0;index<gas.length;index++) {
tmp = gas[index];
res = index;
if((res = canCompleteCircuit(gas,cost,tmp,res,res,(res+1 >=gas.length? 0:res+1))) !=-1) {
return res;
}
}
return res;
}
/**
*
* @param gas
* @param cost
* @param nowGas 当前有的天然气
* @param begin 开始位置
* @param beforeIndex 上一个位置
* @param nowIndex 当前位置
* @return
*/
public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost, int nowGas, int begin, int beforeIndex, int nowIndex) {
nowGas = nowGas - cost[beforeIndex];
if (nowGas < 0) {
return -1;
} else {
nowGas = nowGas+gas[nowIndex];
if (begin == nowIndex) {
return begin;
}
return canCompleteCircuit(gas, cost, nowGas, begin, nowIndex,
nowIndex + 1 >= gas.length ? 0 : nowIndex + 1);
}
}
