C - Catch That Cow(抓住那只牛)

题目描述:

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.

题意:

在一条笔直的道路上,农民要捉牛,给出农民和牛的位置,牛不动,农民有三种方式可以走,例如农民在5,牛在17. 农民可以倍数级走,5*2。可以向前走一步5+1, 向后走一步5-1,每一种方式都花费一分钟,问最少花费的时间可以捉到牛。
分析:这是一个bfs题。用队列容器可以很好解决,也可以用数组模拟队列解决。我是用模拟解决的。
例如:农民在5,那么把5加入数组,那么三种走法能走到的地方分别是,6,4,10。将这三个数加入数组。
数组元素此时是:
5 6 4 10
然后i++,i变成了1。就又将a[i]也就是6能做到的三种情况即5,7,12加入队列。依次这样直到出现17,就停止。
