这是一个难题,关于序列DP的,官方的题解较为难懂,这里有一位前辈解释的很好

这里的状态定义是: dp[i][j]表示word1的前i个字母,转换成 word2的前j个字母的最小步数

class Solution {
    public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
        int n1 = word1.length();
        int n2 = word2.length();
        int[][] dp = new int[n1 + 1][n2 + 1];
        // 第一行
        for (int j = 1; j <= n2; j++) dp[0][j] = dp[0][j - 1] + 1;
        // 第一列
        for (int i = 1; i <= n1; i++) dp[i][0] = dp[i - 1][0] + 1;

        for (int i = 1; i <= n1; i++) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n2; j++) {
                if (word1.charAt(i - 1) == word2.charAt(j - 1)) dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1];
                else dp[i][j] = Math.min(Math.min(dp[i - 1][j - 1], dp[i][j - 1]), dp[i - 1][j]) + 1;
            }
        }
        return dp[n1][n2];  
    }
}
