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
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:抓牛。农夫的牛跑了,农夫在x处,牛在y处,并且这个牛还不知道跑,农夫可以有三种走法:x->2*x, x->x-1 , x->x+1。问求一种走法,使农夫花费更少的时间抓住牛。
思路:一上来的想法是找找规律,却只发现,当y<x时x-y时最少的走法,剩下的得用搜索,深搜的话,很简单,但递归起来,那可就利索了,万一一条路不行它还一直不到底,直接就不行啊。那么可以用广搜,不断向外扩展。
不过这里数据很坑啊,没提示多组输入就算了,说好的十万,却存在超范围的数。
