LeetCode 433 - Minimum Genetic Mutation


https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-genetic-mutation/
A gene string can be represented by an 8-character long string, with choices from "A","C","G","T". 
Suppose we need to investigate about a mutation (mutation from "start" to "end"), where ONE mutation is defined as ONE single character changed in the gene string. 
For example, "AACCGGTT" -> "AACCGGTA" is 1 mutation. 
Also, there is a given gene "bank", which records all the valid gene mutations. A gene must be in the bank to make it a valid gene string. 

Now, given 3 things - start, end, bank, your task is to determine what is the minimum number of mutations needed to mutate from "start" to "end". If there is no such a mutation, return -1. 

NOTE: 1. Starting point is assumed to be valid, so it might not be included in the bank. 2. If multiple mutations are needed, all mutations during in the sequence must be valid. For example, 
bank: "AACCGGTA" 
start: "AACCGGTT" 
end: "AACCGGTA" 
return: 1

bank: "AACCGGTA", "AACCGCTA", "AAACGGTA"
start: "AACCGGTT"
end: "AAACGGTA"
return: 2
bank: "AAAACCCC", "AAACCCCC", "AACCCCCC"
start: "AAAAACCC"
end: "AACCCCCC"
return: 3

Explain: Every time we find a mismatch letter then check if it is in the bank, if so, then we add it to the queue for bfs traverse. "#" is used to mark end of each level. time complexity should be o(length of bank)

进制转换+位运算+广度优先搜索(BFS)
用4进制将基因字符串转化为整数,通过BFS可以求出最少突变次数,每一次突变的转换可以用异或运算完成。
