Catch That Cow

探讨了在给定坐标下,如何通过最优路径和时间策略,利用行走和瞬间传送能力,快速捕捉到静止的奶牛。采用宽度优先搜索算法解决此问题,确保找到从起点到目标点的最短路径。

 

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 - 1 or + 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.
 
 

大体题意:John 去抓奶牛,题目给出Joh和奶牛的坐标,求John抓住奶牛的最短时间。其中john可以前进,后退,传送。使用宽搜解这个题,最先找到的结果就是最短时间。

 

先算+1, 再-1,最后*2.注意搜索时的上下限。
