Description
Let x and y be two strings over some finite alphabet A. We would like to transform x into y allowing only operations given below:
- Deletion: a letter in x is missing in y at a corresponding position.
- Insertion: a letter in y is missing in x at a corresponding position.
- Change: letters at corresponding positions are distinct
Certainly, we would like to minimize the number of all possible operations.
IllustrationA G T A A G T * A G G C | | | | | | | A G T * C * T G A C G CDeletion: * in the bottom line
Insertion: * in the top line
Change: when the letters at the top and bottom are distinct
This tells us that to transform x = AGTCTGACGC into y = AGTAAGTAGGC we would be required to perform 5 operations (2 changes, 2 deletions and 1 insertion). If we want to minimize the number operations, we should do it like
A G T A A G T A G G C | | | | | | | A G T C T G * A C G C
and 4 moves would be required (3 changes and 1 deletion).
In this problem we would always consider strings x and y to be fixed, such that the number of letters in x is m and the number of letters in y is n where n ≥ m.
Assign 1 as the cost of an operation performed. Otherwise, assign 0 if there is no operation performed.
Write a program that would minimize the number of possible operations to transform any string x into a string y.
Input
The input consists of the strings x and y prefixed by their respective lengths, which are within 1000.
Output
An integer representing the minimum number of possible operations to transform any string x into a string y.
Sample Input
10 AGTCTGACGC 11 AGTAAGTAGGC
Sample Output
4

//dp[i][j]表示第一个字符串的前i个字符要和第二个字符串的前j个字符匹配需要的最少操作次数
//初始化dp[i][0]=i,若第二个字符串为0,只好把第一个字符串全删掉,所以dp[i][0]=i
//同理,dp[0][j]=j
//状态转移方程:若s1[i-1]==s2[j-1],则不需要操作,那么dp[i][j]=dp[i-1][j-1]
//否则,我们可能有三步操作,删除,插入,变换,所以dp[i][j]=min(dp[i-1][j]+1,dp[i][j-1]+1,dp[i-1][j-1]+1)
//把删除和插入看作是一个操作,自然dp[i-1][j-1]+1对应的是变换了。
