Hunt–Szymanski algorithm: History & Science

In computer science, the Hunt–Szymanski algorithm, also known as Hunt–McIlroy algorithm, is a solution to the longest common subsequence problem. It was one of the first non-heuristic algorithms used in diff, which compares a pair of files, each represented as a sequence of lines. To this day, variations of this algorithm are found in incremental version…
