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
动态规划,使用数组记录每一步的步数,注意循环长度为<=length,dp[0][0]表示null的时候
class Solution { public: int minDistance(string word1, string word2) { if(word1.empty()) return word2.length(); if(word2.empty()) return word1.length(); int dp[word1.length()+1][word2.length()+1]; dp[0][0]=0; int i,j; for(i=1;i<=word1.length();++i) dp[i][0]=i; for(j=1;j<=word2.length();++j) dp[0][j]=j; for(i=1;i<=word1.length();++i) { for(j=1;j<=word2.length();++j) { if(word1[i-1]==word2[j-1]) dp[i][j]=dp[i-1][j-1]; else dp[i][j]=min(min(dp[i][j-1],dp[i-1][j]),dp[i-1][j-1])+1; } } return dp[word1.length()][word2.length()]; } };
