Edit Distance

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

 

 1 public class Solution { 2     public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) { 3         int len1 = word1 == null ? 0 : word1.length(); 4         int len2 = word2 == null ? 0 : word2.length(); 5         if(len1 == 0) return len2; 6         if(len2 == 0) return len1; 7         int[][] map = new int[len1 + 1][len2 + 1]; 8         for(int i = 0; i <= len1; i ++) 9             map[i][0] = i;10         for(int i = 0; i <= len2; i ++)11             map[0][i] = i;12         for(int i = 1; i <= len1; i ++){13             for(int j = 1; j <= len2; j ++){14                 map[i][j] = Math.min(Math.min(map[i - 1][j], map[i][j - 1]) + 1, 15                                      map[i - 1][j - 1] + (word1.charAt(i - 1) == word2.charAt(j - 1) ? 0 : 1));16             }17         }18         return map[len1][len2];19     }20 }
