Description
Starting with x and repeatedly multiplying by x, we can compute x31 with thirty multiplications:
.
The operation of squaring can be appreciably shorten the sequence of multiplications. The following is a way to compute x31 with eight multiplications:
.
This is not the shortest sequence of multiplications to compute x31. There are many ways with only seven multiplications. The following is one of them:
.
If division is also available, we can find a even shorter sequence of operations. It is possible to compute x31 with six operations (five multiplications and one division):
.
This is one of the most efficient ways to compute x31 if a division is as fast as a multiplication.
Your mission is to write a program to find the least number of operations to compute xn by multiplication and division starting with x for the given positive integer n. Products and quotients appearing in the sequence should be x to a positive integer’s power. In others words, x−3, for example, should never appear.
Input
The input is a sequence of one or more lines each containing a single integer n. n is positive and less than or equal to 1000. The end of the input is indicated by a zero.
Output
Your program should print the least total number of multiplications and divisions required to compute xn starting with x for the integer n. The numbers should be written each in a separate line without any superfluous characters such as leading or trailing spaces.
Sample Input
1 31 70 91 473 512 811 953 0
Sample Output
0 6 8 9 11 9 13 12
【分析】
大致題意:給出 ,詢問至少要多少次乘除可以使 變成 (不太懂的可以看題目描述,寫的很清楚)
應該是一道迭代加深的入門題吧
就是不斷地增加搜尋的深度,如果在當前深度能夠使 變成 ,那最後的答案就是當前深度
注意程式碼中有一個剪枝(),它的意思是,如果每次按最大的來取(即每次都平方)都小於 的話,那肯定就不行,直接
