Leetcode 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

输入两个单词word1和word2,求出从word1转换成word2的最少步骤。每个转换操作算一步。转换操作限定于:

  • 删除一个字符
  • 插入一个字符
  • 替换一个字符

本题用动态规划求解

设决策变量dp[i][j],表示从word[0..i-1]转换为word2[0...j-1]的最少步骤

可以参考http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs124/lec/med.pdf

class Solution {public:    int minDistance(string word1, string word2) {        int len1 =word1.length(), len2 = word2.length();        if(len1 == 0) return len2;        if(len2 == 0) return len1;        if(word1 == word2) return 0;        vector<vector<int> > dp(len1+1, vector<int>(len2+1,0));        for(int i = 0; i <= len1; ++ i) dp[i][0] = i;        for(int j = 0; j <= len2; ++ j) dp[0][j] = j;        for(int i =1; i <= len1; ++ i){            for(int j = 1; j <= len2; ++ j){                dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][j-1]+(word1[i-1] != word2[j-1]? 1: 0),min(dp[i-1][j]+1, dp[i][j-1]+1));            }        }        return dp[len1][len2];    }};
