Gas Station——LeetCode
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.
题意大概是:有N个加油站围成一个圈,每个加油站的油量是gas[i],从第i个加油站开到第i+1个加油站需要耗费cost[i]油量,问是否有一个解使得从某个加油站开始跑一圈,有的话返回开始跑的加油站的index。
我的做法就是从0开始遍历,sum+=gas[i]-cost[i],一旦sum<0了,说明从当前到0的所有点都不可能了,然后从下一个开始,一旦跑完一圈发现sum都不小于0,那么就可以返回当前的index了,否则全部遍历一遍没有解就返回-1。

public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost) { int res; for (int i = 0; i < gas.length; i++) { res = gas[i] - cost[i]; if (res >= 0) { int pos = i; for (int j = pos + 1; j < gas.length + pos; j++) { int index = j % gas.length; res += gas[index] - cost[index]; if (res < 0) { pos = -1; i = j; break; } } if (pos >= 0) return pos; } } return -1; }
