134. Gas Station

There areNgas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at stationiisgas[i].

You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costscost[i]of gas to travel from stationito 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.
