SwiftLCS Carthage compatible Pods Pod platforms Pod documentation

SwitLCS provides an extension of CollectionType that finds the indexes of the longest common subsequence with another collection.

The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem is the problem of finding the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences). It differs from problems of finding common substrings: unlike substrings, subsequences are not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences.

The project is based on the Objective-C implementation of NSArray+LongestCommonSubsequence.

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is the dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects. It has over ten thousand libraries and can help you scale your projects elegantly.

Add this to your Podfile:

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'SwiftLCS'

Carthage

Carthage builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks, but you retain full control over your project structure and setup.

Add this to your Cartfile:

github "Frugghi/SwiftLCS"

Manual

Include SwiftLCS.swift and SwiftLCS+Foundation.swift (optional) to your project.

Usage

String

let x = "abracadabra"
let y = "yabbadabbadoo"

let z = x.longestCommonSubsequence(y) // abadaba

Array

let x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
let y = [8, 9, 2, 10, 4, 11, 6, 12]

let z = x.longestCommonSubsequence(y) // [2, 4, 6]

Indexes

let x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
let y = [8, 9, 2, 10, 4, 11, 6, 12]

let diff = x.diff(y)
// diff.commonIndexes: [1, 3, 5]
// diff.addedIndexes: [0, 1, 3, 5, 7]
// diff.removedIndexes: [0, 2, 4, 6]
