Given two words word1 and word2, find the minimum number of operations required to convert word1 to word2. You have the following 3 operations permitted on a word:
Insert a character Delete a character Replace a character
Example 1: Input: word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros" Output: 3 Explanation: horse -> rorse (replace 'h' with 'r') rorse -> rose (remove 'r') rose -> ros (remove 'e') Example 2: Input: word1 = "intention", word2 = "execution" Output: 5 Explanation: intention -> inention (remove 't') inention -> enention (replace 'i' with 'e') enention -> exention (replace 'n' with 'x') exention -> exection (replace 'n' with 'c') exection -> execution (insert 'u')
dp[i][j]代表word1中前i个字符串变化为word2中前j个字符串所需最小步骤
class Solution {
public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
int[][] dp = new int[word1.length() + 1][word2.length() + 1];
for(int i = 0; i < word1.length() + 1; i++) {
dp[i][0] = i;
}
for(int i = 0; i < word2.length() + 1; i++) {
dp[0][i] = i;
}
for(int i = 1; i < word1.length() + 1; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j < word2.length() + 1; j++) {
if(word1.charAt(i-1) == word2.charAt(j-1)) dp[i][j] = dp[i-1][j-1];
// 第i字符与第j字符相同,那就只用考虑1和2去掉这个字符前面的情况
else dp[i][j] = Math.min(Math.min(dp[i-1][j-1]+1, dp[i-1][j]+1), dp[i][j-1]+1);
// 第i字符与第j字符不同 1的第i个字符替换成2的第j个字符 1的第i个字符删掉 1添加2的第j个字符
}
}
return dp[word1.length()][word2.length()];
}
}
