I have a dictionary of 'n' words given and there are 'm' Queries to respond to. I want to output the number of words in dictionary which are edit distance 1 or 2. I want to optimize the result set given that n and m are roughly 3000.
Edit added from answer below:
I will try to word it differently.
Initially there are 'n' words given as a set of Dictionary words. Next 'm' words are given which are query words and for each query word, I need to find if the word already exists in Dictionary (Edit Distance '0') or the total count of words in dictionary which are at edit distance 1 or 2 from the dictionary words.
I hope the Question is now Clear.
Well, it times out if the Time Complexity is (m*n)n.The naive use of DP Edit Distance Algorithm times out. Even Calculating the Diagonal Elements of 2k+1 times out where k is the threshold here k=3 in above case.
