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
思路:
这个题目又开发广搜的一个新的功能:求出图中两点的最短距离
这个证明是通过搜索树得到的,想象一个点可以扩展为其他三个点,那么被扩展出来的这三个点到最初始点的那个距离就是最短的,因为如果不是最短的,那么这三个点在之前就会出现
其实质就是一个最优路线上的每一个被扩展出的点都是最优的。
