问题描述:
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
问题解析:
方式1.用递归+回朔。运行造成LTE。
方式2.DP。参考BOLG:http://blog.youkuaiyun.com/beiyetengqing/article/details/8105180
ac代码:
public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
if(word1.length()==0)
return word2.length();
if(word2.length()==0)
return word1.length();
int[][] result = new int[word1.length()+1][word2.length()+1];
for(int i=0;i<=word2.length();i++){
result[0][i]=i;
}
for(int j=0;j<=word1.length();j++){
result[j][0]=j;
}
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)){
result[i][j]=result[i-1][j-1];
}else{
result[i][j]=
Math.min(result[i-1][j]+1, Math.min(result[i][j-1]+1,
result[i-1][j-1]+1));
}
}
}
return result[word1.length()][word2.length()];
}
