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.

class EditDistance:

"""

Use :

solver = EditDistance()

editDistanceResult = solver.solve(firstString, secondString)
