SDE - 1

You are given two strings 'S' and 'T' of lengths 'N' and 'M' respectively. Find the "Edit Distance" between the strings.

Edit Distance of two strings is the minimum number of steps required to make one string equal to the other. In order to do so, you can perform the following three operations:

1. Delete a character
2. Replace a character with another one
3. Insert a character

Note:

Strings don't contain spaces in between.

You have been given a MATRIX of non-negative integers of size N x M where 'N' and 'M' denote the number of rows and columns, respectively.

Your task is to find the length of the longest increasing path when you can move to either four directions: left, right, up or down from each cell. Moving diagonally or outside the boundary is not allowed.

Note: A sequence of integers is said to form an increasing path in the matrix if the integers when traversed along the allowed directions can be arranged in strictly increasing order. The length of an increasing path is the number of integers in that path.

For example :

3 2 2
5 6 6
9 5 11 

In the given matrix, 3 →  5 →  6 and 3 →  5 →  9 form increasing paths of length 3 each.
