To avoid a large space complexity, only the last three rows + * are kept in memory (if swaps had the same or higher cost as one deletion + * plus one insertion, only two rows would be needed). + * + * At any stage, "i + 1" denotes the length of the current substring of + * string1 that the distance is calculated for. + * + * row2 holds the current row, row1 the previous row (i.e. for the substring + * of string1 of length "i"), and row0 the row before that. + * + * In other words, at the start of the big loop, row2[j + 1] contains the + * Damerau-Levenshtein distance between the substring of string1 of length + * "i" and the substring of string2 of length "j + 1". + * + * All the big loop does is determine the partial minimum-cost paths. + * + * It does so by calculating the costs of the path ending in characters + * i (in string1) and j (in string2), respectively, given that the last + * operation is a substitution, a swap, a deletion, or an insertion. + * + * This implementation allows the costs to be weighted: + * + * - w (as in "sWap") + * - s (as in "Substitution") + * - a (for insertion, AKA "Add") + * - d (as in "Deletion") + * + * Note that this algorithm calculates a distance _iff_ d == a. + */ +int levenshtein(const char *string1, const char *string2, + int w, int s, int a, int d) +{ + int len1 = strlen(string1), len2 = strlen(string2); + int *row0, *row1, *row2; + int i, j; + + ALLOC_ARRAY(row0, len2 + 1); + ALLOC_ARRAY(row1, len2 + 1); + ALLOC_ARRAY(row2, len2 + 1); + + for (j = 0; j <= len2; j++) + row1[j] = j * a; + for (i = 0; i < len1; i++) { + int *dummy; + + row2[0] = (i + 1) * d; + for (j = 0; j < len2; j++) { + /* substitution */ + row2[j + 1] = row1[j] + s * (string1[i] != string2[j]); + /* swap */ + if (i > 0 && j > 0 && string1[i - 1] == string2[j] && + string1[i] == string2[j - 1] && + row2[j + 1] > row0[j - 1] + w) + row2[j + 1] = row0[j - 1] + w; + /* deletion */ + if (row2[j + 1] > row1[j + 1] + d) + row2[j + 1] = row1[j + 1] + d; + /* insertion */ + if (row2[j + 1] > row2[j] + a) + row2[j + 1] = row2[j] + a; + } + + dummy = row0; + row0 = row1; + row1 = row2; + row2 = dummy; + } + + i = row1[len2]; + free(row0); + free(row1); + free(row2); + + return i; +} -- cgit 1.4.1
