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
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.
刚做的时候发生了很多奇异YY, 搞的我不知道重写了多少遍。。
从当前位置local,向local+1, local-1, local*2这三个方向扩展。
code:
#include <queue>
#include <cstdio>
#include<cstring>
#define N 100001
using namespace std;
int n, k, ans;
bool vis[N];
struct node {
int local, time;
};
void bfs() {
int t, i;
node now, tmp;
queue<node> q;
now.local = n;
now.time = 0;
q.push(now);
memset(vis,false,sizeof(vis));
vis[now.local] = true;
while(!q.empty()) {
now = q.front();
q.pop();
for(i=0; i<3; i++) {
if(0==i) t = now.local-1;
else if(1==i) t = now.local+1;
else if(2==i) t = now.local*2;
if(t<0||t>N||vis[t]) continue;
if(t==k) {
ans = now.time+1;
return;
}
vis[t] = true;
tmp.local = t;
tmp.time = now.time+1;
q.push(tmp);
}
}
} int main() {
while(~scanf("%d%d",&n,&k)) {
if(n>=k) printf("%d\n",n-k);
else {
bfs();
printf("%d\n",ans);
}
}
}
