/**

* Given a list of words and two words word1 and word2, return the shortest

* distance between these two words in the list.

*

* Example:

* Assume that words = ["practice", "makes", "perfect", "coding", "makes"].

*

* Input: word1 = “coding”, word2 = “practice”

* Output: 3

*

* Input: word1 = "makes", word2 = "coding"

* Output: 1

*

* Note:

* You may assume that word1 does not equal to word2, and word1 and word2 are

* both in the list.
