? 1 ? 2 ? ... ? n = k problem
The problem
Given the following formula, one can set operators '+' or '-' instead of each '?', in order to obtain a given k
? 1 ? 2 ? ... ? n = k
For example: to obtain k = 12 , the expression to be used will be:
- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 - 7 = 12
with n = 7
The Input
The first line is the number of test cases, followed by a blank line.
Each test case of the input contains integer k (0<=|k|<=1000000000).
Each test case will be separated by a single line.
The Output
For each test case, your program should print the minimal possible n (1<=n) to obtain k with the above formula.
Print a blank line between the outputs for two consecutive test cases.

Sample Output
7 2701 数学思维:
看似复杂,情况很多种,乍一看摸不着头脑的一道题,让人心生畏惧,Don't panic
数学思维,找规律求解
对于0=1+2-3 3
1=-1+2 2
2=1-2+3 3
依次查看,每个数的结果好像没什么规律
再看,会发现,若1变为-1,实际上将原数-2
2变为-2,实际上将原数-4 均为偶数,我们进步了一大步,我感觉离成功不远了,代码铁定不复杂,只需要我们想清楚
我们持续+,直到数s>k,此时若(s-k)%2==0,说明,s可将组成s的数中的一部分变为负数来的到k
问题转化为求满足s>k&&(s-k)%2==0的数s时,所经历的最大数 注意输出格式!减少不必要的麻烦。 PS:像这种基本的找规律题,数学思维,看得出就看,看不出就试
