Given two strings word1 and word2, return the minimum number of operations required to convert word1 to word2.

\n\n

You have the following three operations permitted on a word:

\n\n\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros"\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: \nhorse -> rorse (replace 'h' with 'r')\nrorse -> rose (remove 'r')\nrose -> ros (remove 'e')\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: word1 = "intention", word2 = "execution"\nOutput: 5\nExplanation: \nintention -> inention (remove 't')\ninention -> enention (replace 'i' with 'e')\nenention -> exention (replace 'n' with 'x')\nexention -> exection (replace 'n' with 'c')\nexection -> execution (insert 'u')\n
