/**
***= =,好吧我来翻译一下,就是有2个数A,B。A可以+1,-1,*2来改变自己的值,上面三种情况都算作操作+1。求A=B所用的最少的操作数。。。。。(0<A,B<100000).

描述
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?
输入
Line 1: Two space-separated integers: N and K
输出
Line 1: The least amount of time, in minutes, it takes for Farmer John to catch the fugitive cow.
