The solution is guaranteed to be unique.
首先判断总的油够不够consume,如果总的油小于总的消耗那一定是走不完的。其次判断,过程中是否剩的油会小于0,如果小于0 那只能从下一个station开始。遍历一遍即可得到答案。
1. compare total gas and total cost, if total gas<total cost
return -1
2. iterate the whole station, rest+=gas[i]-cost[i] if rest<0, search start from the next i
return station
class Solution:
# @param gas, a list of integers
# @param cost, a list of integers
# @return an integer
def canCompleteCircuit(self, gas, cost):
if sum(gas)<sum(cost):
return -1
else:
pre=0
rest=0
station=0
for index in range(len(gas)):
rest+=gas[index]-cost[index]
if rest<0:
pre+=rest
rest=0
station=index+1
return station
