Decode the Coding Interview in Ruby: Real-World Examples

DIY: Word Ladder I

Explore how to implement a word ladder algorithm that finds the shortest transformation sequence from a starting word to an ending word by changing one character at a time. This lesson guides you on handling constraints and efficiently solving word transformation problems relevant to coding interviews.

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 ...
