Edit distance - 改进算法待做！

典型的DP

1. Array怎么建？

这种有连续感的最值问题就可以直接建array表示到目前为止的最小值，此题中index表示length

涉及两个String，二维

2. changing condition？3种change

3. initial addition？

 改进： -> 空间O(m) 用两个 int[m] 存cur，pre行 (同fibonacci number的改进思想)

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

public class Solution {
    public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
        int len1 = word1.length();
        int len2 = word2.length();
        
        int[][] res = new int[len1+1][len2+1];
        
        for (int i = 0; i <= len1; i++) {
            res[i][0] = i;
        }
        
        for(int j = 0; j <= len2; j++) {
            res[0][j] = j;
        }
        
        for (int m = 1; m <= len1; m++) {
            for (int n = 1; n <= len2; n++) {
                 if (word1.charAt(m-1) == word2.charAt(n-1)){
                     res[m][n] =  res[m-1][n-1];             
                 } else {
                     res[m][n] = 1 + getMin(res[m-1][n-1], res[m-1][n], res[m][n-1]);
                 }
            }
        }
        return res[len1][len2];        
    }
    
    public int getMin(int a, int b, int c) {
        return Math.min(a, Math.min(b, c));
    }
     
 }
