Catch That Cow
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?
Line 1: Two space-separated integers:
N and
K
Line 1: The least amount of time, in minutes, it takes for Farmer John to catch the fugitive cow.
5 17Sample Output
4Hint
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:给你三种方式,{-1,+1,*2},使n到k。求所用最少步数;
思路:广搜。因为三种方式的判断条件不同,所以分开写;
