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
HintThe 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.
分析:
题意:一条线上,人的FJ的起点为K位置,牛在N位置(牛不动),输入正整数K和N。若FJ在x位置,FJ有三种走法,分别是走到x-1、x+1或2x位置。求从K走到N的最少步数 。
很简单的一道bfs搜索题,只不过把常见的二维地图换成了一维的,循环换成三种走法。
这道题作为我广搜入门题,让我会用了stl,懂得了广搜的套路。nice
ac代码:
#include<iostream>
#include<queue>
#include<cstring>
#include<cstdio>
using namespace std;
const int maxn=100001;
bool book[maxn];//标记数组
int step[maxn];//记录到了每一位置所走的步数
queue <int> q;//定义队列
int bfs(int n,int k)
{
int head,next;
q.push(n); //开始FJ在n位置,n入队
step[n]=0;
book[n]=true; //标记已访问
while(!q.empty()) //当队列非空
{
head=q.front(); //取队首
q.pop(); //弹出对首
for(int i=0;i<3;i++) //FJ的三种走法
{
if(i==0) next=head-1;
else if(i==1) next=head+1;
else next=head*2;
if(next<0 || next>=maxn) continue; //排除出界情况
if(!book[next]) //如果next位置未被访问
{
q.push(next); //入队
step[next]=step[head]+1; //步数+1
book[next]=true; //标记已访问
}
if(next==k) return step[next]; //当遍历到结果,返回步数
}
}
}
int main()
{
int n,k;
while(cin>>n>>k)
{
memset(step,0,sizeof(step));
memset(book,false,sizeof(book));
while(!q.empty()) q.pop(); //注意调用前要先清空
if(n>=k) printf("%d\n",n-k);
else printf("%d\n",bfs(n,k));
}
return 0;
