Problem 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?
* 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

4//解题思路:主要是把三种路径全部压缩到队列中去,最先找到的路径应该是最短的,参考代码如下:#include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> #include<algorithm> #include<queue> using namespace std; #define N 1000000 int vis[N+10]; int n,k; struct node { int x,step; } a,b; int jud(int x) { if(x<0 || x>=N || vis[x]) return 0; return 1; } int bfs(int x) { memset(vis,0,sizeof(vis)); queue<node>q; a.x=x; a.step=0; vis[x]=1; q.push(a); while(!q.empty()) { a=q.front(); q.pop(); if(a.x==k) return a.step; // b=a; b.x=a.x+1; if(jud(b.x)) { b.step=a.step+1; vis[b.x]=1; q.push(b); } b.x=a.x-1; if(jud(b.x)) { b.step=a.step+1; vis[b.x]=1; q.push(b); } b.x=a.x*2; if(jud(b.x)) { b.step=a.step+1; vis[b.x]=1; q.push(b); } } return -1; } int main(){ int ans; while(~scanf("%d%d",&n,&k)) { ans=bfs(n); printf("%d\n",ans); } return 0; }
