Description
Farmer John has been informed of the location of a fugitive cow and wants to catch her immediately. He starts at a pointN (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 orX+ 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 andK
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.
翻译:
农夫知道一头牛的位置,想要抓住它。农夫和牛都位于数轴上,农夫起始位于点N(0<=N<=100000),牛位于点K(0<=K<=100000)。农夫有两种移动方式:
1、从X移动到X-1或X+1,每次移动花费一分钟。
2、从X移动到2*X,每次移动花费一分钟。
假设牛没有意识到农夫的行动,站在原地不动。农夫最少要花多少时间才能抓住牛?
样例说明:农夫从5到17的最快走法是这样: 5 - 10 - 9 - 18 - 17 ,总共4分钟。
一道老题目了,去年就作为例题学过,今天重新敲一遍,代码结构简洁清楚了很多,一些模型也比以前掌握的好多啦~
