<h2>871. Minimum Number of Refueling Stops</h2><h3>Hard</h3><hr><div><p>A car travels from a starting position to a destination which is <code>target</code> miles east of the starting position.</p>
2+
3+
<p>There are gas stations along the way. The gas stations are represented as an array <code>stations</code> where <code>stations[i] = [position<sub>i</sub>, fuel<sub>i</sub>]</code> indicates that the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> gas station is <code>position<sub>i</sub></code> miles east of the starting position and has <code>fuel<sub>i</sub></code> liters of gas.</p>
4+
5+
<p>The car starts with an infinite tank of gas, which initially has <code>startFuel</code> liters of fuel in it. It uses one liter of gas per one mile that it drives. When the car reaches a gas station, it may stop and refuel, transferring all the gas from the station into the car.</p>
6+
7+
<p>Return <em>the minimum number of refueling stops the car must make in order to reach its destination</em>. If it cannot reach the destination, return <code>-1</code>.</p>
8+
9+
<p>Note that if the car reaches a gas station with <code>0</code> fuel left, the car can still refuel there. If the car reaches the destination with <code>0</code> fuel left, it is still considered to have arrived.</p>

<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>
13+
14+
<pre><strong>Input:</strong> target = 1, startFuel = 1, stations = []
15+
<strong>Output:</strong> 0
16+
<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can reach the target without refueling.
17+
</pre>
18+
19+
<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>
20+
21+
<pre><strong>Input:</strong> target = 100, startFuel = 1, stations = [[10,100]]
22+
<strong>Output:</strong> -1
23+
<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can not reach the target (or even the first gas station).
24+
</pre>
25+
26+
<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>
27+
28+
<pre><strong>Input:</strong> target = 100, startFuel = 10, stations = [[10,60],[20,30],[30,30],[60,40]]
29+
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
30+
<strong>Explanation:</strong> We start with 10 liters of fuel.
31+
We drive to position 10, expending 10 liters of fuel. We refuel from 0 liters to 60 liters of gas.
32+
Then, we drive from position 10 to position 60 (expending 50 liters of fuel),
33+
and refuel from 10 liters to 50 liters of gas. We then drive to and reach the target.
34+
We made 2 refueling stops along the way, so we return 2.

<ul>

<li><code>1 &lt;= target, startFuel &lt;= 10<sup>9</sup></code></li>
42+
<li><code>0 &lt;= stations.length &lt;= 500</code></li>
43+
<li><code>0 &lt;= position<sub>i</sub> &lt;= position<sub>i+1</sub> &lt; target</code></li>
44+
<li><code>1 &lt;= fuel<sub>i</sub> &lt; 10<sup>9</sup></code></li>
