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
分析
令f[i,j] 表示S1前i变成S2的前j所需要的最小步数。
f[i,j] = min(f[i-1,j-1](s1[i]==s2[j]), f[i-1,j-1]+1(s1[i]!=s2[j], f[i-1,j]+1, f[i,j-1]+1) 分别是替换、替换、删除、增加。
class Solution {
public:
int minDistance(string word1, string word2) {
int l1 = word1.length();
int l2 = word2.length();
vector<vector<int> > f(l1 + 1);
for(auto &v:f)
v = vector<int> (l2 + 1,-1);
for(int j = 0;j <= l2;j++)
f[0][j] = j;
for(int i = 1; i <= l1; i++){
f[i][0] = i;
for(int j = 1;j <= l2; j++){
f[i][j] = (word1[i - 1] == word2[j - 1])? f[i - 1][j - 1] : f[i - 1][j - 1] + 1;
f[i][j] = min(f[i][j], f[i - 1][j] + 1);
f[i][j] = min(f[i][j], f[i][j - 1] + 1);
}
}
return f[l1][l2];
}
};
