January LeetCoding Challenge 21
Description
Gas Station
There are n
gas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at the ith
station is gas[i]
.
You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costs cost[i]
of gas to travel from the ith
station to its next (i + 1)th
station. You begin the journey with an empty tank at one of the gas stations.
Given two integer arrays gas
and cost
, 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 unique
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.
Constraints:
gas.length == n
cost.length == n
1 <= n <= 10^5
0 <= gas[i], cost[i] <= 10^4
Solution
auto speedup = [](){
cin.tie(nullptr);
cout.tie(nullptr);
ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
return 0;
}();
class Solution {
public:
int canCompleteCircuit(vector<int>& gas, vector<int>& cost) {
int len = gas.size();
for(int i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
gas[i] -= cost[i];
}
int begin = 0;
while(begin < len) {
int current = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
current += gas[(begin + i) % len];
if(current < 0) {
begin = begin + i + 1;
break;
}
}
if(current >= 0) return begin;
}
return -1;
}
