hdu-2717Catch That Cow(bfs 求最少几步达到指定值)

本文介绍了一个有趣的算法问题——如何让农夫约翰用最短的时间抓到一只静止不动的逃逸奶牛。通过步行和瞬移两种方式,在一条数轴上从起点N到达奶牛所在位置K。文中提供了一种使用广度优先搜索解决此问题的方法。

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
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.
