One Edit Distance

Given two strings s and t, return True if they are both one edit distance apart, otherwise return False.

A string s is said to be one distance apart from a string t if you can:

  • Insert exactly one character into s to get t
  • Delete exactly one character from s to get t
  • Replace exactly one character of s with a different character to get t

Example 1:

Input: s = "ab", t = "acb"
Output: True
Explanation: We can insert 'c' into s to get t.

Example 2:

Input: s = "", t = ""
Output: False
Explanation: We cannot get t from s by only one step.

Example 3:

Input: s = "a", t = ""
Output: True

Example 4:

Input: s = "", t = "A"
Output: True
INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Write your code inside a function named is_one_edit_distance
  2. Your code should work for all permitted possible values of s and t
  3. There are no partial marks for the question.
  4. Your function must return the output, it should not print the output.
  5. To execute a block on the right side coding panel, please press 'shift'+ 'enter'

Complete the below code in the right side coding panel

def is_one_edit_distance(s: str, t: str) -> bool:
    # your code goes here
