Gas Station
Explore the Gas Station problem where you determine the starting point for a circular trip with gas costs. Understand the use of variables to track gas balance and implement an efficient algorithm to solve it in linear time. This lesson helps you break down complex problems and apply logical reasoning for coding interviews using Go.

Description
Suppose there are n gas stations identified by integers 0, 1, . . ., n-1, where the amount of gas at the station is gas[i]. Imagine that these gas stations are arranged clockwise in a circle, as shown below.
You have a car with an unlimited gas tank. It costs cost[i] amount of gas to travel from the station to the ...
