Two Robots
Problem Statement :
You have a warehouse with M containers filled with an infinite number of candies. The containers are arranged in a single row, equally spaced to be 1 meter apart. You also have 2 robots that can pick up 1 piece of candy and transport it between any two containers. The robots take instructions in the form of queries consisting of two integers, Ma and Mb, respectively. To execute a query, a robot travels to container Ma, picks up 1 candy, transports it to container Mb, and then stops at Mb until it receives another query. Calculate the minimum total distance the robots must travel to execute N queries in order. Note: You choose which robot executes each query. Input Format The first line contains a single integer, T (the number of test cases); each of the T test cases is described over N+1 lines. The first line of a test case has two space-separated integers, M (the number of containers) and N (the number of queries). The N subsequent lines each contain two space-separated integers, Ma and Mb, respectively; each line Ni describes the ith query. Constraints 1 <= T <= 50 1 < M <= 1000 1 <= N <= 1000 1 <= a,b <= M Ma != Mb Output Format On a new line for each test case, print an integer denoting the minimum total distance that the robots must travel to execute the queries in order.
