【题目】

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

【题意】

在环形路线上一共有N个加油站,每个加油站的存储容量为gas[i].你有一辆汽油无限存储的汽车,如果你从加油站i到下一站(i+1),你需要

消耗汽油cost[i] 你从某一个加油站开始你的旅程,但是你的汽车里没有任何的汽油。

如果你能沿着环形路线旅游一遍,返回你开始旅游的加油站的下标否则返回-1

注意:

解决方案唯一

【分析】

首先想到的是 O(N^2)的解法,对每个点进行模拟。
O(N) 的解法是,设置两个变量,sum 判断当前的指针的有效性;total 则判断整个数组是否有
解,有就返回通过 sum 得到的下标,没有则返回 -1

如果total>=0即(gas[0] - cost[0])+........+(gas[n] - cost[n]) >= 0则肯定有一个解。
