Edit Distance
Given two words word1 and word2, find the minimum number of operations required to convert word1 to word2.
You have the following 3 operations permitted on a word:
1. Insert a character
2. Delete a character
3. Replace a character
Example 1:
Input: word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros" Output: 3 Explanation: horse -> rorse (replace 'h' with 'r') rorse -> rose (remove 'r') rose -> ros (remove 'e')
Example 2:
Input: word1 = "intention", word2 = "execution" Output: 5 Explanation: intention -> inention (remove 't') inention -> enention (replace 'i' with 'e') enention -> exention (replace 'n' with 'x') exention -> exection (replace 'n' with 'c') exection -> execution (insert 'u')
Solution in Java :
class Solution {
public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
int m = word1.length(), n = word2.length();
int[][] dp = new int[m + 1][n + 1];
for(int i = 0; i <= m; i++) {
dp[i][0] = i;
}
for(int j = 0; j <= n; j++) {
dp[0][j] = j;
}
for(int i = 1; i <= m; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= n; j++) {
if(word1.charAt(i - 1) == word2.charAt(j - 1))
dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1];
else
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1, dp[i - 1][j] + 1, dp[i][j - 1] + 1);
}
}
return dp[m][n];
}
private int min(int a, int b, int c) {
if(a <= b && a <= c) return a;
else if (b <= a && b <= c) return b;
else return c;
}
}
