oh wow ! didnt know there was a handy search engine for HN. basically it explained 1-dimentional Levenshtein distance first. That blew my mind since its much easier to think about the 1d case and then apply it for a 2d matrix. but i remember reading only half-way through the article before had to do something else :( sorry - but I really want to read it again since it will really help me out at my work ! EDIT - FOUND IT ! thanks a lot for that ! It was a god send ! http://davedelong.tumblr.com/post/134367865668/edit-distance-and-edit-steps http://davedelong.tumblr.com/post/134367865668/edit-distance... here is the link - you just made my afternoon ! EDIT 2 - someone should write a book which explains all maths/algorithms concepts using just links to blog posts by most HN popularity - just a though :)
