HackerRank Truck Tour problem solution

In this HackerRank Truck Tour problem, we have given the number of petrol pumps and the distance between each petrol pump, and the amount of petrol at every petrol. we just need to find the smallest index of the petrol pump from which we can start the tour.

Problem solution in Python programming.

a=[]

for i in range(int(input())):
    a.append(list(map(int, input().split())))
    a[i] = a[i][0] - a[i][1]

sum = 0
fin = 0
shift = 0
while (fin < len(a)):
    sum+=a[fin]
    if sum < 0:
        for _ in range(fin + 1):
            a.append(a.pop(0))
        sum = 0
        shift += fin + 1
        fin=0
    else:
        fin = fin + 1
            
print (shift)
