#P1825. [USACO11OPEN] Corn Maze S
[USACO11OPEN] Corn Maze S
题目描述
This past fall, Farmer John took the cows to visit a corn maze. But this wasn't just any corn maze: it featured several gravity-powered teleporter slides, which cause cows to teleport instantly from one point in the maze to another. The slides work in both directions: a cow can slide from the slide's start to the end instantly, or from the end to the start. If a cow steps on a space that hosts either end of a slide, she must use the slide.
The outside of the corn maze is entirely corn except for a single exit.
The maze can be represented by an N x M (2 <= N <= 300; 2 <= M <= 300) grid. Each grid element contains one of these items:
* Corn (corn grid elements are impassable)
* Grass (easy to pass through!)
* A slide endpoint (which will transport a cow to the other endpoint)
* The exit
A cow can only move from one space to the next if they are adjacent and neither contains corn. Each grassy space has four potential neighbors to which a cow can travel. It takes 1 unit of time to move from a grassy space to an adjacent space; it takes 0 units of time to move from one slide endpoint to the other.
Corn-filled spaces are denoted with an octothorpe (#). Grassy spaces are denoted with a period (.). Pairs of slide endpoints are denoted with the same uppercase letter (A-Z), and no two different slides have endpoints denoted with the same letter. The exit is denoted with the equals sign (=).
Bessie got lost. She knows where she is on the grid, and marked her current grassy space with the 'at' symbol (@). What is the minimum time she needs to move to the exit space?
输入格式
第一行:两个用空格隔开的整数 和 。
第 行:第 行描述了迷宫中的第 行的情况(共有个字符,每个字符中间没有空格)。
输出格式
一个整数,表示起点到出口所需的最短时间。
题目大意
奶牛们去一个 玉米迷宫,。
迷宫里有一些传送装置,可以将奶牛从一点到另一点进行瞬间转移。这些装置可以双向使用。
如果一头奶牛处在这个装置的起点或者终点,这头奶牛就必须使用这个装置,奶牛在传送过后不会立刻进行第二次传送,即不会卡在传送装置的起点和终点之间来回传送。
玉米迷宫除了唯一的一个出口都被玉米包围。
迷宫中的每个元素都由以下项目中的一项组成:
- 玉米,
#
表示,这些格子是不可以通过的。 - 草地,

奶牛能在一格草地上可能存在的四个相邻的格子移动,花费 个单位时间。从装置的一个结点到另一个结点不花时间。

唯一的一个装置的结点用大写字母 表示。
最优方案为:先向右走到装置的结点,花费一个单位时间,再到装置的另一个结点上,花费 个单位时间,然后再向右走一个,再向上走一个,到达出口处,总共花费了 个单位时间。
