【题目描述】
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 Input5 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.
【题目分析】
刚开始一直想用DFS做,还加上了记忆化,可是还是一直超时,对于这种求最少值 的问题,还是BFS比较有优势,因为队列本身自带最少属性(步数少加入的早,就总在前面),而且BFS没怎么优化就过了,说明数据还是比较友好的。
