Catch That Cow
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?
Line 1: Two space-separated integers:
N and
K
Line 1: The least amount of time, in minutes, it takes for Farmer John to catch the fugitive cow.
5 17
4
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.
题目大意:农民的牛跑了,农民现在在n处,牛在k处,现在农民可以前进1,或者后退1,也可以去到两倍的位置,花费的时间都为1分钟,问农民追上牛的最短时间。
这道题我开始是想着用dfs做的,后来发现用dfs太慢了。。。。
代码:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<queue>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
int n,k,vis[200005];
struct node
{
int x,s;
}now,next;
int bfs(int n)
{
queue<node>w;
now.x=n,now.s=0;
w.push(now);
vis[n]=1;
while(!w.empty())
{
now=w.front();
w.pop();
if(now.x==k) return now.s;
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
int xx;
if(i==0) xx=now.x+1;
if(i==1) xx=now.x-1;
if(i==2) xx=now.x*2;
if(xx>=0&&xx<200001&&!vis[xx])
{
vis[xx]=1;
next.x=xx,next.s=now.s+1;
w.push(next);
}
}
}
return -1;
}
int main()
{
while(~scanf("%d%d",&n,&k))
{
memset(vis,0,sizeof(vis));
if(n>=k) //如果农民在牛前面就只能退
printf("%d\n",n-k);
else
printf("%d\n",bfs(n));
}
return 0;
}
