Explore how to calculate the minimum edit distance between two strings using Levenshtein operations. This lesson helps you understand the concept and implement a dynamic programming solution, preparing you for related coding interview challenges in Java.

We'll cover the following...

🗺️What is edit distance?
Edit distance is a metric to quantify how dissimilar two strings are to one another by counting the minimum number of operations required to transform one string into the other.

Edit distances find several applications in the real world.

For example:

  • It is used to figure out which word is misspelled in automatic spelling correction.
