Edit Distance

The edit distance between two strings is the minimum number of operations required to transform one string into the other.

The allowed operations are:

  • Add one character to the string.
  • Remove one character from the string.
  • Replace one character in the string.

For example, the edit distance between LOVE and MOVIE is 2, because you can first replace L with M, and then add I.

Your task is to calculate the edit distance between two strings.

Input:

The first argument of input contains a string, A.
The second argument of input contains a string, B.

Output:

Return an integer, representing the minimum number of steps required.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= length(A), length(B) <= 450

Example:

Input 1:
A = "abad"
B = "abac"

Output 1:
1

Explanation 1:
Operation 1: Replace d with c.
