1/**
2 * [991] Broken Calculator
3 *
4 * There is a broken calculator that has the integer startValue on its display initially. In one operation, you can:
5 * 
6 * 	multiply the number on display by 2, or
7 * 	subtract 1 from the number on display.
8 * 
9 * Given two integers startValue and target, return the minimum number of operations needed to display target on the calculator.
10 *  
11 * Example 1:
12 * 
13 * Input: startValue = 2, target = 3
14 * Output: 2
15 * Explanation: Use double operation and then decrement operation {2 -> 4 -> 3}.
16 * 
17 * Example 2:
18 * 
19 * Input: startValue = 5, target = 8
20 * Output: 2
21 * Explanation: Use decrement and then double {5 -> 4 -> 8}.
22 * 
23 * Example 3:
24 * 
25 * Input: startValue = 3, target = 10
26 * Output: 3
27 * Explanation: Use double, decrement and double {3 -> 6 -> 5 -> 10}.
28 * 
29 *  
30 * Constraints:
31 * 
32 * 	1 <= startValue, target <= 10^9
33 *
