134 - Gas Station\.
Medium
There are
n
gas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> station isgas[i]
.You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costs
cost[i]
of gas to travel from the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> station to its next <code>(i + 1)<sup>th</sup></code> station. You begin the journey with an empty tank at one of the gas stations.Given two integer arrays
gas
andcost
, return the starting gas station's index if you can travel around the circuit once in the clockwise direction, otherwise return-1
. If there exists a solution, it is guaranteed to be uniqueExample 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.
Constraints:
n == gas.length == cost.length
<code>1 <= n <= 10<sup>5</sup></code>
<code>0 <= gasi, costi<= 10<sup>4</sup></code>
