[leetcode]Gas Station @ Python

原题地址:https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/gas-station/

题意:

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.

解题思路:这道题也很tricky,自己想是很难想出来的。如果sum(gas)<sum(cost)的话,那么一定无解。saving是走完一站邮箱剩下的油,如果加上gas[i]也到不了下一站,那么继续将下一站设置为起点,然后再检查,是不是很巧妙呢?

代码:时间复杂度O(n),空间复杂度O(1)

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        startIndex = 0        saving = 0        for i in range(len(gas)):            if gas[i] + saving < cost[i]:                 startIndex = i + 1                saving = 0            else:                saving += gas[i] - cost[i]        return startIndex
