134. Gas Station
There areNgas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at stationiisgas[i].
You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costscost[i]of gas to travel from stationito 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.
思路:比较精妙
public class Solution {
public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost) {
int sumRemaining = 0; // track current remaining
int total = 0; // track total remaining
int start = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < gas.length; i++) {
int remaining = gas[i] - cost[i];
//if sum remaining of (i-1) >= 0, continue
if (sumRemaining >= 0) {
sumRemaining += remaining;
//otherwise, reset start index to be current
} else {
sumRemaining = remaining;
start = i;
}
total += remaining;
}
if (total >= 0){
return start;
}else{
return -1;
