One Edit Distance

Given two strings S and T, determine if they are both one edit distance apart.

    public boolean isOneEditDistance(String s, String t) {
        if (Math.abs(s.length() - t.length()) > 1) {
            return false;
        }
        if (s.length() > t.length()) {
            return isOneEditDistance(t, s);
        }
        int i = 0;
        int shift = t.length() - s.length();
        while (i < s.length() && s.charAt(i) == t.charAt(i)) {
            i++;
        }
        if (i == s.length()) {
            return shift > 0;
        }
        if (shift == 0) {
            i++;
        }
        while (i < s.length() && s.charAt(i) == t.charAt(i+shift)) {
            i++;
        }
        return i == s.length();
    }
