Word Ladder

Given two words (start and end), and a dictionary, find the length of shortest transformation sequence from start to end, such that:

  1. Only one letter can be changed at a time
  2. Each intermediate word must exist in the dictionary

For example,

Given:
start = "hit"
end = "cog"
dict = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log"]

As one shortest transformation is "hit" -> "hot" -> "dot" -> "dog" -> "cog",
return its length 5.

Note:

  • Return 0 if there is no such transformation sequence.
  • All words have the same length.

  • All words contain only lowercase alphabetic characters
    class Solution {
    public:
        int ladderLength(string start, string end, unordered_set &dict) {
    		dict.insert(end);
    		queue> q;
    		q.push(make_pair(start,1));
    		while(!q.empty())
    		{
    			auto cur=q.front();
    			string origi=cur.first;
    			q.pop();
    			for(int i=0;i temp;
    								temp.first=cur.first;
    								temp.second=cur.second+1;
    								q.push(temp);
    								dict.erase(cur.first);
    							}
    						}
    					}
    					cur.first=origi;
    				}
    
    			}
    		}
    		return 0;
        }
    };
