题目还是很好的,提供了一种新的思路方向。

细节方面,开始我的判断条件用的dict,不太好,后来debug好了。

另外,注意其中用数组初始化Set的方法:Set<String> dict = new HashSet(Arrays.asList(bank));

还有 Set<String> a = new Hash<>(); 当中前面<>里面加String的原因是提取出来的直接就是String,后面<>指的是接受各种类型。不加<>表示不区分类型,应该和<>是等价的效果。

// 这个方法特别好
// https://discuss.leetcode.com/topic/63959/c-two-end-bfs-solution-exactly-same-as-127-word-ladder
// 提到与 https://leetcode.com/problems/word-ladder/ 127. Word Ladder 题目其实是一模一样的
// 看了一下,的确是的 public class Solution {
// 这个题目里面用到了两面BFS的方法,然后通过对字符串的替换,来降低优先级
// 之前另一个题目 Word Ladder里面,用的是一端到另一端的
// 现在这个更巧妙一些,因为从set里面找结果,比遍历set的内容要更高效一些
