Hi there,
I had a bit of a go at converting the Python version into Clojure and
removed the need to mutate an array. Because the 'lcs' function was
basically just mapping over a list of i/j pairs and accumulating the
resulting matrix, it seemed like a good candidate for reduce:
(defn lcs [x y]
(let [m (count x)
n (count y)]
(reduce (fn [c [i j]]
(if (= (get x (dec i))
(get y (dec j)))
(assoc-in c [i j] (inc (get-in c [(dec i) (dec j)])))
(assoc-in c [i j] (max (get-in c [i (dec j)])
(get-in c [(dec i) j])))))
(vec (replicate (inc n)
(vec (replicate (inc m)
0))))
(for [i (range 1 (inc m))
j (range 1 (inc n))]
[i j]))))
Then, 'backtrack-all' is pretty much a straight translation of the
Python one, but with tail recursion where possible:
(defn backtrack-all [c x y i j]
(cond (or (zero? i) (zero? j))
#{""}
(= (get x (dec i)) (get y (dec j)))
(set (map #(str % (get x (dec i)))
(backtrack-all c x y (dec i) (dec j))))
(>= (get-in c [i (dec j)])
(get-in c [(dec i) j]))
(recur c x y i (dec j))
(>= (get-in c [(dec i) j])
(get-in c [i (dec j)]))
(recur c x y (dec i) j)))
Mostly untested ;o)
Cheers,
Mark
