HDU 2476 String painter(区间DP)

Problem Description

There are two strings A and B with equal length. Both strings are made up of lower case letters. Now you have a powerful string painter. With the help of the painter, you can change a segment of characters of a string to any other character you want. That is, after using the painter, the segment is made up of only one kind of character. Now your task is to change A to B using string painter. What’s the minimum number of operations?

 

Input

Input contains multiple cases. Each case consists of two lines:
The first line contains string A.
The second line contains string B.
The length of both strings will not be greater than 100.

 

Output

A single line contains one integer representing the answer.

 

Sample Input

  
  

   
   zzzzzfzzzzz
abcdefedcba
abababababab
cdcdcdcdcdcd
  
  

 

Sample Output

题意：将S1变成S2，可执行操作为 将一连续区间变成一个字母，问最小次数

分析：首先分析出，一个区间最优可以由2个小区间最优组合出来，这两个区间最优不会重叠，所以先求出空串变成S2各个区间的最小操作次数，

转移方程：if（S2【i】==S2【k】）dp【i】【j】=min（dp【i+1】【k】+dp【k+1】【j】）；

设ans【i】为0~i的最小转化次数，如果S2【k】==S1【k】说明ans【i】可以由ans【i-1】推出；

转化方程：ans【i】=min（ans【k】+dp【k+1】【i】）；
