Description
Now a days, Shakib is only thinking about addition and multiplication. His friend Roy prepared a problem to check his thinking ablity on addition and multiplication. The problem is very simple,
You are given two inetegers \(A\) and \(B\) (\(A<=B\)) and you need to find out minimum number of operations requried to make \(A\) equal to \(B\).
In one operations you can do one of the following
\(A = A + 1\) (increase A by 1)
or
\(A = A * 2\) (multiply A by 2)
Unfortunately, Shakib is visiting his village and we don't want to distrub him. Instead of Shakib, can you solve it.
Input
First line of input takes an integer \(T\) : number of testcases
Each testcase takes two integers \(A,B\)
\(1 <= T <= 10^5\)
\(1 <= A,B <= 10^9\)
Output
Print one integer in each of \(T\) lines: minimum operation to make A equal to B

In the first test case, one of the optimal way we can get 8,
1st operation : multiple by 2, A = A * 2, A = 2;
second operation : multiple by 2, A = A * 2, A = 4;
third operation : multiple by 2, A = A * 2, A = 8;
After third operation, A is equal to B, so the answer is 3.
In the second test case, A is already equal to B. so we don't need any operations.
In the third test case ,
1st operation : multiple A by 2, A = A * 2, A = 4;
second operation : increase A by 1, A = A + 1, A = 5;
Only 2 operations are needed to make A equal to B, so the answer is 2.
