编辑距离

“编辑距离”问题的详细指南和 Python 实现。

问题陈述

中等

给定两个字符串 word1 和 word2,返回将 word1 转换为 word2 所需的最少操作数。

允许对单词进行以下三种操作:

1.插入一个字符

2.删除一个字符

3. 替换一个字符

编写一个函数 minDistance(word1: str, word2: str) -> int

约束条件
  • 0 <= len(word1), len(word2) <= 500
  • word1 and word2 consist of lowercase English letters

示例

Example 1
Input
word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros"
Output
3
Explanation

horse -> rorse (replace 'h' with 'r') -> rose (remove 'r') -> ros (remove 'e').

Example 2
Input
word1 = "intention", word2 = "execution"
Output
5
Explanation

intention -> extention -> exention -> exection -> execution. Total 5 operations.

Need a Hint?
考虑使用 2D DP 特定的数据结构,例如集合或堆。
Edge Cases to Watch
  • 空输入结构
  • 单元素输入
  • 大数值范围
