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.

这题理解题意之后很简单,即要保证gas - cost 的和一直是正的就可以了。 但是要注意这是一个circular。

 1 public class Solution {
 2     public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost) {
 3         // Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case.
 4         if(gas.length == 0) return -1;
 5         for(int i = 0; i < gas.length; i ++){
 6             gas[i] = gas[i] - cost[i];
 7         }
 8         for(int i = 0; i < gas.length; i ++){
 9             int sum = 0;
10             boolean sig = true;
11             for(int j = i; j < gas.length; j ++){
12                 sum += gas[j];
13                 if(sum < 0){
14                     sig = false;
15                     break;
16                 }
17             }
18             for(int j = 0; j < i; j ++){
19                 sum += gas[j];
20                 if(sum < 0){
21                     sig = false;
22                     break;
23                 }
24             }
25             if(sig == true)return i;
26         }
27         return -1;
28     }
29 }
