Gas Station Problem: Can Complete Circuit In 60 Characters?

Gas Station problem: Can travel circuit if total gas >= total cost. Greedy approach finds starting station with net gain >= 0.

Top Interview 150
The Gas Station problem is a classic interview question that tests your understanding of greedy algorithms. Let's explore LeetCode 134: Gas Station, break it down, and implement an efficient solution.


🚀 Problem Description
You are given two integer arrays:

gas: The amount of gas available at each station.
cost: The gas required to travel to the next station.

You need to determine:

If you can travel around the circuit starting at one of the gas stations.
Return the index of the starting gas station if possible; otherwise, return -1.
The solution is guaranteed to be uniqu...
