Description
Starting with x and repeatedly multiplying by x, we can compute x31 with thirty multiplications:
x2 = x × x, x3 = x2 × x, x4 = x3 × x, …, x31 = x30 × x.
The operation of squaring can be appreciably shorten the sequence of multiplications. The following is a way to compute x31 with eight multiplications:
x2 = x × x, x3 = x2 × x, x6 = x3 × x3, x7 = x6 × x, x14 = x7 × x7, x15 = x14 × x, x30 = x15 × x15, x31 = x30 × x.
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:
x2 = x × x, x4 = x2 × x2, x8 = x4 × x4, x8 = x4 × x4, x10 = x8 × x2, x20 = x10 × x10, x30 = x20 × x10, x31 = x30 × x.
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):
x2 = x × x, x4 = x2 × x2, x8 = x4 × x4, x16 = x8 × x8, x32 = x16 × x16, x31 = x32 ÷ x.
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 integern. 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.

Japan 2006題意:
算x^n的快速乘法。算過的結果可以利用。乘和除都可以問最少的運算次數。
思路:
由於涉及到最少次數。想用bfs但是。bfs會出問題。因為求解x^n的過程中只能使用已算出的結果。但是bfs不能確定某個狀態時那些結果已經算出。所以只能用dfs來求解。但是盲目用dfs每次搜到底的話。時間開銷太大。但是我們大概知道需要的運算次數。所以我們可以逐漸加深的來搜這樣就可以最快的找到解了。
