Suppose each edit (insert, delete, replace) has a cost of one. Then, the maximum edit distance cost between the two strings is equal to the length of the larger string.

Suppose each edit (insert, delete, replace) has a cost of one. Then, the maximum edit distance cost between the two strings is equal to the length of the larger string. Correct Answer True

Consider the strings “abcd” and “efghi”. The string “efghi” can be converted to “abcd” by deleting “i” and converting “efgh” to “abcd”. The cost of transformation is 5, which is equal to the length of the larger string.
