Solution: Edit Distance

Explore how to solve the Edit Distance problem with dynamic programming in C++. This lesson guides you through building a 2D table to compute the minimum operations required to transform one string into another, covering insert, delete, and replace actions efficiently.

Statement

Given two strings word1 and word2, return the minimum number of operations needed to transform word1 into word2.

The following three operations are allowed on any character of a word:

  • Insert a character

  • Delete a character

  • Replace a character

Constraints:

  • 00 \leq word1.length, word2.length 500\leq 500 ...
