题解：给你x、y，x可以加1、减1、或者变成2*x，问通过最少的次数来让x等于y，这是最基础的bfs，就是把x通过一次的+1、-1、*2得到的数都放到队列里面，再把这些通过一次操作得到的数进行相同的操作+1、-1、*2，因为用个结构体来存放这个数是第几次操作得到的，所以只要一旦发现这个数，一定是通过最小的次数得到的。

Problem

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.
