72. Edit Distance

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’)

    public function minDistance($word1, $word2) {
        $n1 = strlen($word1);
        $n2 = strlen($word2);
        if ($n2 > $n1) {
            return $this->minDistance($word2, $word1);
        }
        $dp = array_fill(0, $n2 + 1, 0);
        for ($j = 0; $j <= $n2; $j++) {
            $dp[$j] = $j;
        }
        for ($i = 1; $i <= $n1; $i++) {
            $pre = $dp[0];
            $dp[0] = $i;
            for ($j = 1; $j <= $n2; $j++) {
                $tmp = $dp[$j];
                $dp[$j] =
                    $word1[$i - 1] != $word2[$j - 1]
                        ? 1 + min($pre, min($dp[$j], $dp[$j - 1]))
                        : $pre;
