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：有一个农民和一头牛，他们在一个数轴上，牛在k位置保持不动，农户開始时在n位置。设农户当前在M位置，每次移动时有三种选择：1.移动到M-1。2.移动到M+1位置；3.移动到M*2的位置。问最少移动多少次能够移动到牛所在的位置。所以能够用BFS来搜索这三个状态，直到搜索到牛所在的位置。
