/**
|
|
* A DynamicProgramming based solution for Edit Distance problem In Java Description of Edit
|
|
* Distance with an Example:
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Edit distance is a way of quantifying how dissimilar two strings (e.g., words) are to one
|
|
* another, by counting the minimum number of operations required to transform one string into the
|
|
* other. The distance operations are the removal, insertion, or substitution of a character in the
|
|
* string.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>The Distance between "kitten" and "sitting" is 3. A minimal edit script that transforms the
|
|
* former into the latter is:
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>kitten → sitten (substitution of "s" for "k") sitten → sittin (substitution of "i" for "e")
|
|
* sittin → sitting (insertion of "g" at the end).
