3. Compute the edit distance between PLASMA and ALTRUISM.
1) Write down the 79 array of distances between all prefixes as computed by the
following algorithm.
int EditDistance(char s[1..m], char t[1..n])
{
// for all i and j, d[i,j] will hold the edit distance between the first i characters of s and the first j
characters of t; note that d has (m+1)x(n+1) values
declare int d[0..m,0..n]
for i from 0 to m
d[i,0] := i // the distance of any first string to an empty second string
for j from 0 to n
d[0, j] := j // the distance of any second string to an empty first string
for j from 1 to n
{
for i from 1 to m
{
if s[i]= t[j] then
d[i, j] := d[i-1, j-1]// no operation required
else
d[i, j] := minimum
( d[i-1, j]+1,// a deletion
d[i, j-1]+1,// an insertion
d[i-1, j-1]+1// a substitution )
}
}
return d[m,n]
2) Describe all possible sequences of operations that transform PLASMA to
ALTRUISM with the minimum number of edit operations.
