/**********************************************************************************
*
* Given two words word1 and word2, find the minimum number of steps required to
* convert word1 to word2. (each operation is counted as 1 step.)
*
* You have the following 3 operations permitted on a word:
*
* a) Insert a character
* b) Delete a character
* c) Replace a character
*
*

/*
* Dynamic Programming
*
* Definitaion
*
* m[i][j] is minimal distance from word1[0..i] to word2[0..j]
*
* So,
*
* 1) if word1[i] == word2[j], then m[i][j] == m[i-1][j-1].
*
* 2) if word1[i] != word2[j], then we need to find which one below is minimal:
*
* min( m[i-1][j-1], m[i-1][j], m[i][j-1] )
*
* and +1 - current char need be changed.
*
* Let's take a look m[1][2] : "a" => "ab"
*
* +---+ +---+
* ''=> a | 1 | | 2 | '' => ab
* +---+ +---+
*
* +---+ +---+
* a => a | 0 | | 1 | a => ab
* +---+ +---+
*
* To know the minimal distance `a => ab`, we can get it from one of the following cases:
*
* 1) delete the last char in word1, minDistance( '' => ab ) + 1
* 2) delete the last char in word2, minDistance( a => a ) + 1
* 3) change the last char, minDistance( '' => a ) + 1
*
*
* For Example:
*
* word1="abb", word2="abccb"
*
* 1) Initialize the DP matrix as below:
*
* "" a b c c b
* "" 0 1 2 3 4 5
* a 1
* b 2
* b 3
*
* 2) Dynamic Programming
*
* "" a b c c b
* "" 0 1 2 3 4 5
* a 1 0 1 2 3 4
* b 2 1 0 1 2 3
* b 3 2 1 1 2 2
*
