题目原型:
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.
基本思路:
遍历一圈,如果说剩下的油和待加的油能够走过这一站的话则继续,否则改变起点继续,当起点回到原来走过的点时表示不能
public int canCompleteCircuit(int[] gas, int[] cost) { if(gas.length==0||gas==null) return -1; if(cost.length==0||cost==null) return 0; int index = 0; int rest = 0;//还剩多少油 int count = 0;//走过的长度 int startIndex = 0;//起始点 int len = gas.length; boolean isCircle = false;//记录是否回到了曾经走过的点 while(count<len) { if(rest<0||rest+gas[index]<cost[index]) { startIndex = (index+1)%len; //起点回到曾经走过的点那么就说明不能通过 if(isCircle) return -1; count = 0; } else { rest = rest + gas[index] - cost[index]; count++; } if(index+1>=len) isCircle=true; index = (index+1)%len; } return startIndex; }
