### 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。
