EDIST - Edit distance |
You are given two strings, A and B. Answer, what is the smallest number of operations you need to
transform A to B?
Operations are:
- Delete one letter from one of strings
- Insert one letter into one of strings
- Replace one of letters from one of strings with another letter
Input
T - number of test cases
For each test case:
- String A
- String B
Both strings will contain only uppercase characters and they won't be longer than 2000 characters.
There will be 10 test cases in data set.
Output
For each test case, one line, minimum number of operations.
Example
Input: 1 FOOD MONEY Output: 4

The test input is incorrect and it contains lowercase letters. Also there are probably bad newlines too. Last edit: 2024-07-09 13:51:50 |

Got an AC with DP. A simple Edit Distance application of DP. However got AC with 9.3+ with C++. Not sure why. Tried all types of optimizations. Used vector<vector> for DP and the standard approach. But not sure why the high runtime when other users have managed 0.18. |

C++ users, take input using cin... getline gives WA |

AC in one go after reading concept in CLRS and one video. good start on a DP |

Careful with the case a=0 && b=0 |

Initially I used strings which gave WA. Taking char arrays instead resulted in accepted code. I didn't understand why so. |

pass string with reference to get AC in top-down approach |
