583. 两个字符串的删除操作

English Version

题目描述

给定两个单词 word1 和 word2 ，返回使得 word1 和  word2 相同所需的最小步数。

每步 可以删除任意一个字符串中的一个字符。

 

示例 1：

输入: word1 = "sea", word2 = "eat"
输出: 2
解释: 第一步将 "sea" 变为 "ea" ，第二步将 "eat "变为 "ea"

示例  2:

输入：word1 = "leetcode", word2 = "etco"
输出：4

 

提示：

• 1 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 500
• word1 和 word2 只包含小写英文字母

解法

方法一：动态规划

类似1143. 最长公共子序列。

定义 dp[i][j] 表示使得 word1[0:i-1] 和 word1[0:j-1] 两个字符串相同所需执行的删除操作次数。

时间复杂度：$O(mn)$。

Python3

class Solution:
    def minDistance(self, word1: str, word2: str) -> int:
        m, n = len(word1), len(word2)
        dp = [[0] * (n + 1) for _ in range(m + 1)]
        for i in range(1, m + 1):
            dp[i][0] = i
        for j in range(1, n + 1):
            dp[0][j] = j
        for i in range(1, m + 1):
            for j in range(1, n + 1):
                if word1[i - 1] == word2[j - 1]:
                    dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1]
                else:
                    dp[i][j] = 1 + min(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1])
        return dp[-1][-1]

Java

class Solution {
    public int minDistance(String word1, String word2) {
        int m = word1.length(), n = word2.length();
        int[][] dp = new int[m + 1][n + 1];
        for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i) {
            dp[i][0] = i;
        }
        for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j) {
            dp[0][j] = j;
        }
        for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j) {
                if (word1.charAt(i - 1) == word2.charAt(j - 1)) {
                    dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1];
                } else {
                    dp[i][j] = 1 + Math.min(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]);
                }
            }
        }
        return dp[m][n];
    }
}

C++

class Solution {
public:
    int minDistance(string word1, string word2) {
        int m = word1.size(), n = word2.size();
        vector<vector<int>> dp(m + 1, vector<int>(n + 1));
        for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i) dp[i][0] = i;
        for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j) dp[0][j] = j;
        for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j) {
                if (word1[i - 1] == word2[j - 1])
                    dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1];
                else
                    dp[i][j] = 1 + min(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]);
            }
        }
        return dp[m][n];
    }
};

Go

func minDistance(word1 string, word2 string) int {
	m, n := len(word1), len(word2)
	dp := make([][]int, m+1)
	for i := range dp {
		dp[i] = make([]int, n+1)
		dp[i][0] = i
	}
	for j := range dp[0] {
		dp[0][j] = j
	}
	for i := 1; i <= m; i++ {
		for j := 1; j <= n; j++ {
			if word1[i-1] == word2[j-1] {
				dp[i][j] = dp[i-1][j-1]
			} else {
				dp[i][j] = 1 + min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-1])
			}
		}
	}
	return dp[m][n]
}

func min(a, b int) int {
	if a < b {
		return a
	}
	return b
}

TypeScript

function minDistance(word1: string, word2: string): number {
    const m = word1.length;
    const n = word2.length;
    const dp = Array.from({ length: m + 1 }, () => Array(n + 1).fill(0));
    for (let i = 1; i <= m; i++) {
        for (let j = 1; j <= n; j++) {
            if (word1[i - 1] === word2[j - 1]) {
                dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1;
            } else {
                dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]);
            }
        }
    }
    const max = dp[m][n];
    return m - max + n - max;
}

Rust

impl Solution {
    pub fn min_distance(word1: String, word2: String) -> i32 {
        let (m, n) = (word1.len(), word2.len());
        let (word1, word2) = (word1.as_bytes(), word2.as_bytes());
        let mut dp = vec![vec![0; n + 1]; m + 1];
        for i in 1..=m {
            for j in 1..=n {
                dp[i][j] = if word1[i - 1] == word2[j - 1] {
                    dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
                } else {
                    dp[i - 1][j].max(dp[i][j - 1])
                }
            }
        }
        let max = dp[m][n];
