/**
 * 433 - Minimum Genetic Mutation\.
 *
 * Medium
 *
 * A gene string can be represented by an 8-character long string, with choices from `'A'`, `'C'`, `'G'`, and `'T'`.
 *
 * Suppose we need to investigate a mutation from a gene string `start` to a gene string `end` where one mutation is defined as one single character changed in the gene string.
 *
 * *   For example, `"AACCGGTT" --> "AACCGGTA"` is one mutation.
 *
 * There is also a gene bank `bank` that records all the valid gene mutations. A gene must be in `bank` to make it a valid gene string.
 *
 * Given the two gene strings `start` and `end` and the gene bank `bank`, return _the minimum number of mutations needed to mutate from_ `start` _to_ `end`. If there is no such a mutation, return `-1`.
 *
 * Note that the starting point is assumed to be valid, so it might not be included in the bank.
 *
 * **Example 1:**
 *
 * **Input:** start = "AACCGGTT", end = "AACCGGTA", bank = ["AACCGGTA"]
 *
 * **Output:** 1 
 *
 * **Example 2:**
 *
 * **Input:** start = "AACCGGTT", end = "AAACGGTA", bank = ["AACCGGTA","AACCGCTA","AAACGGTA"]
 *
 * **Output:** 2 
 *
 * **Example 3:**
 *
 * **Input:** start = "AAAAACCC", end = "AACCCCCC", bank = ["AAAACCCC","AAACCCCC","AACCCCCC"]
 *
 * **Output:** 3 
 *
 * **Constraints:**
 *
 * *   `start.length == 8`
 * *   `end.length == 8`
 * *   `0 <= bank.length <= 10`
 * *   `bank[i].length == 8`
 * *   `start`, `end`, and `bank[i]` consist of only the characters `['A', 'C', 'G', 'T']`.
