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

Use scanf for taking input(including numbers)

can't we use maps?

Use bottom-up approach,it will not give TLE.
in top-down TLE is there as we reinitialize the dp array t times(t is no. of test cases).

can a input string be empty

It's possible to AC with Py3 here (https://www.spoj.com/ranks/EDIST/lang=PYTH%203.2.3) but with problems like this is always gonna be hard. Submit your code in PyPy.

I am getting TLE in all the approaches in python3. Is there anyone who got AC in python3?

Just use cin instead of getline.I have solved many problem where getline doesn't work but cin does.Mayber they have used space to separate int the test case.
