抓住那头牛(catchcow)

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?

农夫约翰被通知,他的一只奶牛逃逸了!所以他决定,马上幽发,尽快把那只奶牛抓回来.

他们都站在数轴上.约翰在N(0≤N≤100000)处,奶牛在K(0≤K≤100000)处.约翰有两种办法移动,步行和瞬移:步行每秒种可以让约翰从z处走到x+1或x-1处;而瞬移则可让他在1秒内从x处消失,在2x处出现.然而那只逃逸的奶牛,悲剧地没有发现自己的处境多么糟糕,正站在那儿一动不动.

那么,约翰需要多少时间抓住那只牛呢?
