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:

  1. Delete one letter from one of strings
  2. Insert one letter into one of strings
  3. 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

Declare all the variables as Global and the char array size must be >=2001.

Brilliant question, worth the 3 hours spent, learnt so much, a must for beginners like me.. You could refer to this link for help : ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We3YDTzNXEk )
Just a small issue, I used gets() in C and got a WA, just changed it to scanf() and got an AC. Is the input poorly fomatted ? Weird :/

"those who are getting SIGSEGV fault declare 2-D dynamic array globally with size 3000.." -anuveshkothari is right

monkz: 2015-08-26 20:27:03

Can it be solved using LCS?
