// Package diff implements an algorithm for producing edit-scripts.
// The edit-script is a sequence of operations needed to transform one list
// of symbols into another (or vice-versa). The edits allowed are insertions,
// deletions, and modifications. The summation of all edits is called the
// Levenshtein distance as this problem is well-known in computer science.
//
// This package prioritizes performance over accuracy. That is, the run time
// is more important than obtaining a minimal Levenshtein distance.

// by Eugene W. Myers. Since D can be as large as N itself, this is
// effectively O(N^2). Unlike the algorithm from that paper, we are not
// interested in the optimal path, but at least some "decent" path.
//
// For example, let X and Y be lists of symbols:
// X = [A B C A B B A]
// Y = [C B A B A C]
//
// The edit-graph can be drawn as the following:
// A B C A B B A
// ┌─────────────┐
// C │_|_|\|_|_|_|_│ 0
// B │_|\|_|_|\|\|_│ 1
// A │\|_|_|\|_|_|\│ 2
// B │_|\|_|_|\|\|_│ 3
// A │\|_|_|\|_|_|\│ 4
// C │ | |\| | | | │ 5
// └─────────────┘ 6

//
// List X is written along the horizontal axis, while list Y is written
// along the vertical axis. At any point on this grid, if the symbol in
// list X matches the corresponding symbol in list Y, then a '\' is drawn.
// The goal of any minimal edit-script algorithm is to find a path from the
// top-left corner to the bottom-right corner, while traveling through the
// fewest horizontal or vertical edges.
// A horizontal edge is equivalent to inserting a symbol from list X.
// A vertical edge is equivalent to inserting a symbol from list Y.
// A diagonal edge is equivalent to a matching symbol between both X and Y.
// To ensure flexibility in changing the algorithm in the future,
// introduce some degree of deliberate instability.
// This is achieved by fiddling the zigzag iterator to start searching
// the graph starting from the bottom-right versus than the top-left.
// The result may differ depending on the starting search location,
// but still produces a valid edit script.

// The algorithm below is a greedy, meet-in-the-middle algorithm for
// computing sub-optimal edit-scripts between two lists.
//
// The algorithm is approximately as follows:
// • Searching for differences switches back-and-forth between
// a search that starts at the beginning (the top-left corner), and
// a search that starts at the end (the bottom-right corner). The goal of
// the search is connect with the search from the opposite corner.
// • As we search, we build a path in a greedy manner, where the first
// match seen is added to the path (this is sub-optimal, but provides a
// decent result in practice). When matches are found, we try the next pair
// of symbols in the lists and follow all matches as far as possible.
// • When searching for matches, we search along a diagonal going through
// through the "frontier" point. If no matches are found, we advance the
// frontier towards the opposite corner.
// • This algorithm terminates when either the X coordinates or the
// Y coordinates of the forward and reverse frontier points ever intersect.
//
// This algorithm is correct even if searching only in the forward direction
// or in the reverse direction. We do both because it is commonly observed
// that two lists commonly differ because elements were added to the front
// or end of the other list.
//
// Running the tests with the "cmp_debug" build tag prints a visualization
// of the algorithm running in real-time. This is educational for
// understanding how the algorithm works. See debug_enable.go.
