HDU2717 Catch That Cow

Problem Description

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

 

思路：

当n>=k的时候只能后退一步 所以就是n-k

n<k的时候有三种 +1 -1 *2 BFS
