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.

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

这里还有注意java中队里的使用 声明 基本操作
