HDU 2476 String painter（区间dp)

Problem Description

There are two strings A and B with equal length. Both strings are made up of lower case letters. Now you have a powerful string painter. With the help of the painter, you can change a segment of characters of a string to any other character you want. That is,
after using the painter, the segment is made up of only one kind of character. Now your task is to change A to B using string painter. What’s the minimum number of operations?

 

Input

Input contains multiple cases. Each case consists of two lines:

The first line contains string A.

The second line contains string B.

The length of both strings will not be greater than 100.

 

Output

A single line contains one integer representing the answer.

 

Sample Input

zzzzzfzzzzz
abcdefedcba
abababababab
cdcdcdcdcdcd

 

Sample Output

6
7

 
题意：给你两个字符串，从a串到b串，你每次可以选择将一个区间的全部字符变成一种字符求最小到达b串的次数。
思路：学习了kuangbin大神的博客才理解的，就是先dp获得一个从空串获得b串的最小次数，这个地方，比如获得abcda的代价就是代价(bcd)+1，这里的1就是涂后面那个a的代价，因为可以一起涂成a，然后涂中间的，所以这里直接b[i] == b[k]的时候，区间dp一下。然后对a串到b串，如果a[i] == b[i]，这个i位置我我们就可以不涂，这里也区间dp一下。
