class="pst" style="">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?KOutput
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.#include"iostream" #include"queue" using namespace std; #define MAX 100000 int dis[MAX + 1]; bool check[MAX + 1]; int catch_Cow(int n, int k) { int c; queue<int> q; q.push(n); dis[n] = 0; check[n] = 1; while(!q.empty()) { c = q.front(); q.pop(); if(c - 1 >= 0 && c - 1 < MAX + 1 && !check[c - 1]) { check[c - 1] = 1; dis[c - 1] = dis[c] + 1; q.push(c - 1); } if(c + 1 >= 0 && c + 1 < MAX + 1 && !check[c + 1]) { check[c + 1] = 1; dis[c + 1] = dis[c] + 1; q.push(c + 1); } if(c * 2 >= 0 && c * 2 < MAX + 1 && !check[c * 2]) { check[c * 2] = 1; dis[c * 2] = dis[c] + 1; q.push(c * 2); } if(c == k) return dis[c]; } return 0; } int main() { int john_n, cow_k; while (cin>>john_n>>cow_k) { memset(check,0,sizeof(check)); memset(dis,0,sizeof(dis)); cout<<catch_Cow(john_n, cow_k)<<endl<<endl; } return 0; }
