LeetCode 583: Delete Operation for Two Strings

Almost same as Longest Common SubString

 

class Solution {
    public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
        int[][] dp = new int[word1.length() + 1][word2.length() + 1];
        for (int i = 0; i <= word1.length(); i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j <= word2.length(); j++) {
                if (i == 0 || j == 0) dp[i][j] = 0;
                else {
                    dp[i][j] = (word1.charAt(i - 1) == word2.charAt(j - 1)) ? dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1 : Math.max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]);
                }
            }
        }
        return word1.length() + word2.length() - 2 * dp[word1.length()][word2.length()];
    }
}
