# Summary:
Given a number, `num`, return the shortest amount of `steps` it would take from 1, to land exactly on that number.

# Description:
A `step` is defined as either:
- Adding 1 to the number: `num += 1`
- Doubling the number: `num *= 2`

You will always start from the number `1` and you will have to return the shortest count of steps it would take to land exactly on that number.

`1 <= num <= 10000`

Examples:

`num == 3` would return `2` steps:

```
1 -- +1 --> 2:        1 step
2 -- +1 --> 3:        2 steps

2 steps
```

`num == 12` would return `4` steps:

```
1 -- +1 --> 2:        1 step
2 -- +1 --> 3:        2 steps
3 -- x2 --> 6:        3 steps
6 -- x2 --> 12:       4 steps

4 steps
```

`num == 16` would return `4` steps:

```
1 -- +1 --> 2:        1 step
2 -- x2 --> 4:        2 steps
4 -- x2 --> 8:        3 steps
8 -- x2 --> 16:       4 steps

4 steps
```
