Hard
Given two strings word1
and word2
, return the minimum number of operations required to convert word1
to word2
.
You have the following three operations permitted on a word:
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’)
Constraints:
0 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 500
word1
and word2
consist of lowercase English letters.#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
