Catch That Cow
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 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 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.

题意:一维数轴上有两个点,要求求从一个点到另一个点的最小步数,在X可以走到X+1或X-1或2*X。
解题思路:这个题是个很水的BFS题,基本套模板。以下是我的AC代码
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
#include <cstdio>
#include <memory.h>
using namespace std;
#define maxn 100005
bool flag[maxn];
struct trip
{
int x,step;
};
int n,k;
int check(int x)
{
if(x<0||x>=maxn) return 1;
return flag[x];
}
void bfs()
{
queue<trip> q;
trip now,next;
now.x=n;
now.step=0;
flag[now.x]=true;
q.push(now);
while(!q.empty())
{
now=q.front();
q.pop();
if(now.x==k)
{
printf("%d\n",now.step);
break;
}
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
if(i==0) next.x=now.x+1;
else if(i==1) next.x=now.x-1;
else if(i==2) next.x=now.x*2;
if(check(next.x)) continue;
next.step=now.step+1;
flag[next.x]=true;
q.push(next);
}
}
}
int main()
{
//freopen("in.txt","r",stdin);
scanf("%d%d",&n,&k);
memset(flag,false,sizeof(flag));
bfs();
return 0;
}
