Gas Station

p
"""
Task:
There are n gas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas
at the ith station is gas_quantities[i].

You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costs costs[i] of gas
to travel from the ith station to its next (i + 1)th station.
You begin the journey with an empty tank at one of the gas stations.

Given two integer arrays gas_quantities and costs, return the starting
gas station's index if you can travel around the circuit once
in the clockwise direction otherwise, return -1.
If there exists a solution, it is guaranteed to be unique

Reference: https://leetcode.com/problems/gas-station/description

Implementation notes:
First, check whether the total gas is enough to complete the journey. If not, return -1.
However, if there is enough gas, it is guaranteed that there is a valid
starting index to reach the end of the journey.
Greedily calculate the net gain (gas_quantity - cost) at each station.
If the net gain ever goes below 0 while iterating through the stations,
start checking from the next station.
