Rapid sort

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A 2-pass sort algorithm that is efficient when the range of keys is approximately equal to the number of items and only keys are sorted. The first pass counts the occurrences of each key in an ...

Levenshtein distance

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

(1) The smallest number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions required to change one string or tree into another. (2) A Θ(m × n) algorithm to compute the distance between strings, where m and n ...
