Problem
You are playing a game with integers. You start with the integer 1
and you want to reach the integer target
.
In one move, you can either:
- Increment the current integer by one (i.e.,
x = x + 1
). - Double the current integer (i.e.,
x = 2 * x
).
You can use the increment operation any number of times, however, you can only use the double operation at most maxDoubles
times.
Given the two integers target
and maxDoubles
, return the minimum number of moves needed to reach target
starting with 1
.
Example 1:
Input: target = 5, maxDoubles = 0 Output: 4 Explanation: Keep incrementing by 1 until you reach target.
Example 2:
Input: target = 19, maxDoubles = 2 Output: 7 Explanation: Initially, x = 1 Increment 3 times so x = 4 Double once so x = 8 Increment once so x = 9 Double again so x = 18 Increment once so x = 19
Example 3:
Input: target = 10, maxDoubles = 4 Output: 4 Explanation: Initially, x = 1 Increment once so x = 2 Double once so x = 4 Increment once so x = 5 Double again so x = 10
Constraints:
1 <= target <= 109
0 <= maxDoubles <= 100
