Interface DiffAlgorithm<T,R extends PatchResult<T>>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the compared elements in the 'lines'.

All Known Implementing Classes:

MyersDiff

public interface DiffAlgorithm<T,R extends PatchResult<T>>

The general interface for computing diffs between two lists of elements of type T.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Patch<T,R>	diff(java.util.List<T> original, java.util.List<T> revised) Computes the difference between the original sequence and the revised sequence and returns it as a Patch object.
Patch<T,R>	diff(T[] original, T[] revised) Computes the difference between the original sequence and the revised sequence and returns it as a Patch object.
