Open the Lock
Problem Description
Now an emergent task for you is to open a password lock. The password is consisted of four digits. Each digit is numbered from 1 to 9.
Each time, you can add or minus 1 to any digit. When add 1 to ‘9’, the digit will change to be ‘1’ and when minus 1 to ‘1’, the digit will change to be ‘9’. You can also exchange the digit with its neighbor. Each action will take one step.
Now your task is to use minimal steps to open the lock.
Note: The leftmost digit is not the neighbor of the rightmost digit.
Input
The input file begins with an integer T, indicating the number of test cases.
Each test case begins with a four digit N, indicating the initial state of the password lock. Then followed a line with anotther four dight M, indicating the password which can open the lock. There is one blank line after each test case.
Output
For each test case, print the minimal steps in one line.
Sample Input
2
1234
2144
1111
9999
Sample Output
2
4
这是一道简单的bfs入门题。题设每样例给出两行数据,第一行代表密码锁初始显示数字,第二行代表正确密码。每次可对某一数字进行加一或减一操作(当然需注意‘1’与‘9’)或与邻位交换。问找到正确密码的最少步数。
可利用广度优先搜索的思想(bfs)去思考,将每种情况都考虑并记录下来(利用队列,数组),对每组数据的四个数进行加一,减一,邻位交换共十一种可能产生的数据依次压入队列(可能会产生已出现的数据,利用数组标记判断,出现过则不再压入)。然后从队列中不断取出数据重复以上操作,直到找到密码。
