word ladder

题目描述:Given two words (start and end), and a dictionary, find the length of shortest transformation sequence from start to end, such that:
Only one letter can be changed at a time
Each intermediate word must exist in the dictionary
For example,
    Given:
    start ="hit"
    end ="cog"
    dict =["hot","dot","dog","lot","log"]
As one shortest transformation is"hit" -> "hot" -> "dot" -> "dog" -> "cog",
return its length5.
Note:
Return 0 if there is no such transformation sequence.
All words have the same length.

All words contain only lowercase alphabetic characters.

public class Solution {
    public int ladderLength(String start, String end, HashSet<String> dict) {
        //层序遍历思想
        int res=0;
        LinkedList<String> q=new LinkedList<String>();
        q.offer(start);
        while(!q.isEmpty()){
                int size=q.size();
                while(size>0){
                     
                    String s=q.poll();
                    size--;
                    //当前弹出的字符串恰好就等于end了
                    if(s.equals(end))
                        return res+1;
                    //遍历dict找到和当前字符串相差一个字符的字符串
                    for(Iterator<String> it=dict.iterator();it.hasNext();){
                        //每次取dict中的一个字符串
                        String str=it.next();
                        if(oneCharDiff(s,str)){
                            //如果str和s只差一个字符
                            q.offer(str);
                            it.remove();//要把当前字符串从dict中删除 这里没太想明白
                        }
                    }
                     
                    
                }
            //遍历完了一层
            res++;
        }
        return 0;
    }
     
    public boolean oneCharDiff(String s1, String s2){
        int count=0;
        if(s1.length()!=s2.length())
            return false;
        for(int i=0;i<s1.length();i++){
            if(s1.charAt(i)!=s2.charAt(i))
                count++;
        }
        return count==1 ? true: false;
    }
}

广度优先搜索???

这里还有注意java中队里的使用 声明 基本操作
