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
4Hint
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.思路:用BFS,有3个方向入队列#include <cstdio> #include <map> #include <algorithm> #include <cstring> #include <iostream> #include <cmath> #include <queue> #include <string> using namespace std; const int maxn=2000000; int dis[maxn],vis[maxn];; int st,ed; queue<int>q; void bfs(int c) { q.push(c); vis[c]=1; while(!q.empty()) { int temp=q.front(); q.pop(); if(temp==ed) { return ; } if(temp+1<=maxn&&!vis[temp+1]) { vis[temp+1]=1; dis[temp+1]=dis[temp]+1; q.push(temp+1); } if(temp-1>=0&&!vis[temp-1]) { vis[temp-1]=1; dis[temp-1]=dis[temp]+1; q.push(temp-1); } if(temp*2<=maxn&&!vis[temp*2]) { vis[temp*2]=1; dis[temp*2]=dis[temp]+1; q.push(temp*2); } } } int main() { while(scanf("%d %d",&st,&ed)!=EOF) { memset(vis,0,sizeof(vis)); dis[st]=0; while(!q.empty()) q.pop(); bfs(st); printf("%d\n",dis[ed]); } return 0; }
