EDIST - Edit distance


You are given two strings, A and B. Answer, what is the smallest number of operations you need to
transform A to B?

Operations are:

  1. Delete one letter from one of strings
  2. Insert one letter into one of strings
  3. Replace one of letters from one of strings with another letter

Input

T - number of test cases

For each test case:

  • String A
  • String B

Both strings will contain only uppercase characters and they won't be longer than 2000 characters. 

There will be 10 test cases in data set.

Output

For each test case, one line, minimum number of operations.

Example

Input:
1
FOOD
MONEY

Output:
4

Got an AC with DP. A simple Edit Distance application of DP.

However got AC with 9.3+ with C++. Not sure why. Tried all types of optimizations. Used vector<vector> for DP and the standard approach. But not sure why the high runtime when other users have managed 0.18.

C++ users, take input using cin... getline gives WA

AC in one go after reading concept in CLRS and one video. good start on a DP

Careful with the case a=0 && b=0

Initially I used strings which gave WA. Taking char arrays instead resulted in accepted code.
I didn't understand why so.

pass string with reference
to get AC in top-down approach

"\n" costed me one WA.
