Ruby實現的最短編輯距離計算方法_ruby專題

利用動態規划算法，實現最短編輯距離的計算。

複製代碼 代碼如下:

#EditDistance
#to find the minimum cost by using EditDistance algorithm
#example output:
#  "Please input a string: "
#  exponential
#  "Please input the other string: "
#  polynomial
#  "The expected cost is 6"
#  The result is :
#    ["e", "x", "p", "o", "n", "e", "n", "-", "t", "i", "a", "l"]
#    ["-", "-", "p", "o", "l", "y", "n", "o", "m", "i", "a", "l"]
