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 ⑴.
Note:
The solution is guaranteed to be unique.
思路:
看了tag发现是贪心,想起老师上课说贪心实现起来是最简单的,最难的是证明贪心策略的正确性。这里主要为了AC,多尝试几次可能的策略懒得证明了(宝宝TM不会证明啊!!)。很自然想到的策略有:1、从gas最多的station开始 2、从cost最少的station开始 3、从剩余(gas-cost)最少的开始。
尝试了几次发现第2种是对的,但要注意如果有多个站点cost相同,要判断这些站点是不是能完成环圈旅行。
