很简单的dp。
class Solution {
public:
int minDistance(string word1, string word2) {
string s1 = word1;
string s2 = word2;
int l1 = s1.length();
int l2 = s2.length();
if(l1 == 0) {
return l2;
} else if(l2 == 0) {
return l1;
}
int dp[l1+1][l2+1];
memset(dp, 0, sizeof(dp));
for(int i = 0; i <= l1; i++) {
dp[i][0] = i;
}
for(int i = 0; i <= l2; i++) {
dp[0][i] = i;
}
for(int i = 1; i <= l1; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= l2; j++) {
if(s1[i-1] == s2[j-1]) {
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][j]+1, dp[i][j-1]+1);
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i][j], dp[i-1][j-1]);
} else {
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][j]+1, dp[i][j-1]+1);
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i][j], dp[i-1][j-1]+1);
}
}
}
return dp[l1][l2];
}
};
python:
class Solution:
def minDistance(self, word1: str, word2: str) -> int:
l1 = len(word1)+1
l2 = len(word2)+1
# dp[i][j]: the number of operations needed to change the first i letters of word1 to the first j letters of word2
dp = [[0 for i in range(l2)] for j in range(l1)]
# initialization
for i in range(l1):
dp[i][0] = i
for j in range(l2):
dp[0][j] = j
for i in range(1, l1):
for j in range(1, l2):
tmp = 1
if word1[i-1] == word2[j-1]:
tmp = 0
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][j-1]+tmp, dp[i][j-1]+1, dp[i-1][j]+1)
return dp[-1][-1]
