Title: Enhanced Dynamic Programming Implementations with Professional Documentation
Key features implemented: - Updated .gitignore with comprehensive ignore patterns for Python projects including coverage reports, IDE files, and environment configurations - Refined edit_distance.py with extensive professional documentation explaining algorithms, time/space complexity, applications, and detailed examples for both top-down and bottom-up approaches - Optimized fast_fibonacci.py with enhanced documentation covering mathematical principles, complexity analysis, and improved error handling while maintaining O(log n) performance - Improved fibonacci.py with comprehensive docstrings explaining memoization approach, complexity analysis, and usage examples for dynamic programming implementation - Enhanced knapsack.py with detailed algorithm explanations, complexity analysis, and professional documentation covering both memory function and bottom-up approaches with solution reconstruction - Added comprehensive examples and edge case testing throughout all dynamic programming implementations The updates provide professional-grade documentation written in an accessible manner while maintaining optimal time and space complexity across all algorithms. Test coverage has been improved with additional examples and validation cases.

3+
distance problem (also known as Levenshtein distance).
4+
5+
The Problem:
6+
Given two strings A and B, find the minimum number of operations to transform
7+
string A into string B. The permitted operations are:
8+
1. Insertion - Add a character
9+
2. Deletion - Remove a character
10+
3. Substitution - Replace one character with another
11+
12+
Time Complexity: O(m × n) where m and n are the lengths of the two strings
13+
Space Complexity: O(m × n) for the DP table
14+
15+
Applications:
16+
- Spell checkers and autocorrect
17+
- DNA sequence alignment in bioinformatics
18+
- Plagiarism detection
19+
- Speech recognition
20+
- Fuzzy string matching

>>> EditDistance().min_dist_bottom_up("intention", "execution")
