There are three types of edits that can be performed on strings: insert a character, remove a character, or replace a character. Given two strings, write a function to check if they are one edit (or zero edits) away.
Example 1:
Input: first = "pale" second = "ple" Output: True
Example 2:
Input: first = "pales" second = "pal" Output: False
