Given a graph whose nodes are 3-letter words and an array of 3-letter words. Find a path in the graph such that the difference b/w words in the path and given array is minimum.
We are given 2 APIs which work for this graph:
class Graph {
/**
* Get all neighbors of a node.
*/
Set<String> getNeighbors(String node);
/**
* Get a list of all nodes in no particular order.
*/
Set<String> listAllNodes();
}
Consider a graph G: Test Graph
Example 1:
Input: G, arr = [AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD] Output: 2 Explanation: The path [AAA, BBC, CCD, DDD] is closest to given array. In path, BBC differs from BBB by 1 and CCD differs from CCC by 1 hence answer is 1 + 1 = 2. Example 2:
Input: G, arr = [AAA, CCC, AAA, BBD] Output: 3 Explanation: The path [AAA, BBC, AAA, BBC] is closest to given array. In path, BBC differs from CCC by 2 and BBC differs from BBD by 1 hence answer is 2 + 1 = 3.
Notice that we can visit the same node multiple times. Thanks in advance :)
