典型的DP题目,dp[i][j]表示word1[:i]转为word2[:i]需要的步骤数。有三种方法:1.插入(dp[i-1][j]), 2.替换(dp[i-1][j-1]), 3.删除(dp[i][j-1])
class Solution(object):
def minDistance(self, word1, word2):
"""
:type word1: str
:type word2: str

m=len(word1)
n=len(word2)
dp=[[0]*(n+1) for _ in range(m+1)]
for i in range(1,m+1):
dp[i][0]=i
for j in range(1,n+1):
dp[0][j]=j
for i in range(1,m+1):
for j in range(1,n+1):
if word1[i-1]==word2[j-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[m][n]
