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

    You have the following three operations permitted on a word:

    • Insert a character
    • Delete a character
    • Replace a character

    Example 1:

    Input: word1 = “horse”, word2 = “ros”

    Output: 3

    Explanation: horse -> rorse (replace ‘h’ with ‘r’) rorse -> rose (remove ‘r’) rose -> ros (remove ‘e’)

    Example 2:

    Input: word1 = “intention”, word2 = “execution”

    Output: 5

    Explanation: intention -> inention (remove ‘t’) inention -> enention (replace ‘i’ with ‘e’) enention -> exention (replace ‘n’ with ‘x’) exention -> exection (replace ‘n’ with ‘c’) exection -> execution (insert ‘u’)

    Constraints:

    • 0 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 500
    • word1 and word2 consist of lowercase English letters.
