POJ-3278(BFS)

题目：

                                                                                                                                                         Catch That Cow

Time Limit: 2000MS		Memory Limit: 65536K

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

分析：题目大意是在数轴上给定任意起点n、终点k，对任意的点坐标x每次有3种走法：x-1，x+1，2*x。每走一次花费时间为1minute，问从n到k最少需要花费多少时间？

      该题是最短路径问题，于是可以用BFS搜索，每次往三个方向BFS，直到到达k，每走一步记录当前时间。
