Decode the Coding Interview in Python: Real-World Examples

DIY: Word Ladder I

Explore how to solve the Word Ladder problem by implementing an algorithm that finds the shortest transformation sequence from a starting word to a target word. Understand constraints and apply letter-by-letter transitions to map real coding interview challenges.

We'll cover the following...

Problem statement

You are given a list of words, a starting_word, and an ending_word. This problem requires you to find the minimum number of transitions required to convert the starting_word into the ending_wordunder the following constraints:

  • All the ...
