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:
- Insert a character
- Delete a character
- 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')
class Solution(object): def minDistance(self, word1, word2): """ :type word1: str :type word2: str :rtype: int """ m = len(word1) n = len(word2) dp = [[0 for _ in range(n + 1)] for _ in range(m + 1)] for i in range(1,m+1): dp[i][0] = i for i in range(1,n+1): dp[0][i] = i for i in range(1, m+1): for j in range(1, n+1): if word2[j-1] == word1[i-1]: dp[i][j] = dp[i-1][j-1] else: dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][j-1],dp[i-1][j],dp[i][j-1]) + 1 return dp[-1][-1]
