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
Hint
The fastest way for Farmer John to reach the fugitive cow is to move along the following path: 5-10-9-18-17, which takes 4 minutes.

题意就是从一个数经过+1,-1, *2 如何用最小的操作次数达到另一个数。
找最短路径和最优解就是广搜没跑了。
#include<iostream>
#include<queue>
#include<cstring>
#define INF 10e7
const int M = 100001;
using namespace std;
int dir[3][2] = {{1,1}, {1,-1}, {2,0}};
struct POINT
{
int pos,
step;
}now, next;
queue<POINT> Q;
bool visit[M];
int N, K;
int bfs()
{
while(!Q.empty())
Q.pop();
now.pos = N;
now.step = 0;
visit[now.pos] = true;
Q.push(now);
while(!Q.empty())
{
now = Q.front();
Q.pop();
next = now;
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i ++)
{
next.pos = now.pos * dir[i][0] + dir[i][1];
next.step = now.step + 1;
if(next.pos < 0 || next.pos > M)
continue;
else if(next.pos == K)
return next.step;
else if(!visit[next.pos])
{
Q.push(next);
visit[next.pos] = true;
}
}
}
return INF;
}
int main()
{
while(cin >> N >> K)
{
memset(visit,false,sizeof(visit));
if(N < K)
cout << bfs() << endl;
if(N == K)
cout << 0 << endl;
if(N > K)
cout << N - K << endl;
}
}
还是经典的写法, 不过这个函数没有用参数,大概是因为都使用了全局变量吧。刚学的时候写起来还是很难的,看都看不懂,多写几次就会好一点。
