""" Author : Turfa Auliarachman Date : October 12, 2016 This is a pure Python implementation of Dynamic Programming solution to the edit distance problem. The problem is : Given two strings A and B. Find the minimum number of operations to string B such that A = B. The permitted operations are removal, insertion, and substitution.
