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:在一维空间中,求由一个数字到另个数字的最短变化步数,数字的变化可以是加1减一或者乘以二。
思路:本题采用广搜,当最先搜到结果即为最短路径。
#include <iostream>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<queue>
using namespace std;
bool flag[100010];//标志数组,标记元素是否搜过
int s[3]={1,-1,0};//广搜的路径
int q[3]={1,1,2};//广搜的路径
struct Node
{
int x,t;//x代表坐标,t代表步数
}pre,cur;
void bfs(int a,int b)
{
if(a!=b)//起点终点不同
{
queue<Node> que;//与结构体相关的队列
while(!que.empty()) que.pop();
pre.x=a;
pre.t=0;
flag[a]=1;
que.push(pre);//起点进队列
while(!que.empty())
{
pre=que.front(); que.pop();//每次取队首元素作为当前节点 ,出队列
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)//广搜
{
int xx=q[i]*pre.x+s[i];
if(xx>=0&&xx<=100000&&!flag[xx])
{
cur.x=xx;
flag[xx]=1;//已经搜过
cur.t=pre.t+1;
que.push(cur);
if(cur.x==b) printf("%d\n",cur.t);//判断是否搜到终点
}
}
}
}
if(a==b) printf("0\n");//起点终点相同
}
int main()
{
int N,K;
scanf("%d%d",&N,&K);
bfs(N,K);
return 0;
}
注意:必须要在广搜进行的同时判断是否搜到,不能在出队列时在判断,这样会超时。
标注:广搜思路:
一维广搜:把起点进入队列,然后出队列依次广搜周围的目标,如果目标满足条件进入队列,并且标志数组标记已访问,每次都访问队首元素,依次递归下去,直到搜到目标为止。
二维广搜:依次从两点出发进行广搜。
