题目描述

给你两个单词 word1 和 word2， 请返回将 word1 转换成 word2 所使用的最少操作数  。

你可以对一个单词进行如下三种操作：

• 插入一个字符
• 删除一个字符
• 替换一个字符

 

示例 1：

输入：word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros"
输出：3
解释：
horse -> rorse (将 'h' 替换为 'r')
rorse -> rose (删除 'r')
rose -> ros (删除 'e')

示例 2：

输入：word1 = "intention", word2 = "execution"
输出：5
解释：
intention -> inention (删除 't')
inention -> enention (将 'i' 替换为 'e')
enention -> exention (将 'n' 替换为 'x')
exention -> exection (将 'n' 替换为 'c')
exection -> execution (插入 'u')

 

提示：

• 0 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 500
• word1 和 word2 由小写英文字母组成

解法

方法一：动态规划

我们定义 $f[i][j]$ 表示将 $word1$ 的前 $i$ 个字符转换成 $word2$ 的前 $j$ 个字符所使用的最少操作数。初始时 $f[i][0] = i$, $f[0][j] = j$。其中 $i \in [1, m], j \in [0, n]$。

考虑 $f[i][j]$：

• 如果 $word1[i - 1] = word2[j - 1]$，那么我们只需要考虑将 $word1$ 的前 $i - 1$ 个字符转换成 $word2$ 的前 $j - 1$ 个字符所使用的最少操作数，因此 $f[i][j] = f[i - 1][j - 1]$；
• 否则，我们可以考虑插入、删除、替换操作，那么 $f[i][j] = \min(f[i - 1][j], f[i][j - 1], f[i - 1][j - 1]) + 1$。

综上，我们可以得到状态转移方程：

$$ f[i][j] = \begin{cases} i, & \text{if } j = 0 \\ j, & \text{if } i = 0 \\ f[i - 1][j - 1], & \text{if } word1[i - 1] = word2[j - 1] \\ \min(f[i - 1][j], f[i][j - 1], f[i - 1][j - 1]) + 1, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} $$

最后，我们返回 $f[m][n]$ 即可。

时间复杂度 $O(m \times n)$，空间复杂度 $O(m \times n)$。其中 $m$ 和 $n$ 分别是 $word1$ 和 $word2$ 的长度。

class Solution:
    def minDistance(self, word1: str, word2: str) -> int:
        m, n = len(word1), len(word2)
        f = [[0] * (n + 1) for _ in range(m + 1)]
        for j in range(1, n + 1):
            f[0][j] = j
        for i, a in enumerate(word1, 1):
            f[i][0] = i
            for j, b in enumerate(word2, 1):
                if a == b:
                    f[i][j] = f[i - 1][j - 1]
                else:
                    f[i][j] = min(f[i - 1][j], f[i][j - 1], f[i - 1][j - 1]) + 1
