Given two words word1 and word2, find the minimum number of steps required to convert word1 to word2. (each operation is counted as 1 step.)
You have the following 3 operations permitted on a word:
a) Insert a character
b) Delete a character
c) Replace a character
class Solution { public: int minDistance(string word1, string word2) { // Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case. vector<vector<int> > p; vector<int> one; one.resize(word2.length()+1); p.resize(word1.length()+1,one); int m=word1.length(); int n=word2.length(); for(int i=0;i<=m;i++)p[i][0]=i; for(int i=0;i<=n;i++)p[0][i]=i; for(int i=1;i<=m;i++){ for(int j=1;j<=n;j++){ p[i][j]=min(min(p[i-1][j]+1,p[i][j-1]+1),(p[i-1][j-1]+(word1[i-1]==word2[j-1]?0:1))); } } return p[m][n]; } };
