Problem Description
Farmer John has been informed of the location of a fugitive cow and wants to catch her immediately. He starts at a point N (0 ≤ N ≤ 100,000) on a number line and the cow is at a point K (0 ≤ K ≤ 100,000) on the same number line. Farmer John has two modes of transportation: walking and teleporting.
* Walking: FJ can move from any point X to the points X - 1 or X + 1 in a single minute
* Teleporting: FJ can move from any point X to the point 2 × X in a single minute.
If the cow, unaware of its pursuit, does not move at all, how long does it take for Farmer John to retrieve it?
Input
Line 1: Two space-separated integers: N and K
Output
Line 1: The least amount of time, in minutes, it takes for Farmer John to catch the fugitive cow.
Sample Input
5 17
Sample Output
4
题意:牛逃跑了,人要去抓回来这只牛,他们在一条直线上 ,现在牛的坐标是K,人的坐标是N,牛呆在原位置不动。人有两种行进方式,步行和传送,步行可以向前或向后走一步,传送为到达人当前坐标*2 的位置。每行进一次用一分钟,问人最少需要几分钟可以抓到牛。
思路:很明显的广搜题,有两种情况:一是牛在人的前面,即K<N,那么人只能一步一步的退着走,时间为N-K;第二种,牛在人的后面,那么人三种走法(把步行分为两种)都可以,这样搜下去即可,注意记录走过的坐标。
