HDU 2717 Catch That Cow

本文介绍了一个基于广度优先搜索(BFS)算法解决的趣味问题:如何在一个数轴上,利用步行与瞬间传送两种方式最快地追上一只静止不动的逃逸奶牛。文章提供了详细的解题思路与完整的Java实现代码。

 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.

题目大意:一个东西追另外一个东西,他可以有三种办法移动,坐标+1,-1,或*2.
解体思路:bfs
注意点:k可能<=N,此时答案是K-N+1,坐标只有在小于k时才能*2,否则数组必然越界,而且没有意义,即需做一定剪枝。
