Hello,

I've seen it done explicitly as is shown in the code below. 'f' in
'longest' is the function which is being memoized by the 'dp'. It's
pretty slick, IMO.

(not sure where this code came from. Also I may have broken it, but
you get the idea):

module Diff where

import Data.Array

-- * Dynamic Programming

dp :: (Ix a) => (a,a) -> ((a->b) -> a -> b) -> a -> b
dp bounds f = (memo!)
        where memo = tabulate bounds (f (memo!))

tabulate :: (Ix a) => (a,a) -> (a -> b) -> Array a b
tabulate bounds f = array bounds [(i,f i) | i <- range bounds]

-- * Two-way diff

-- NOTE: I copied lcs/longest off the web somewhere, not sure what the license 
is
lcs :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] -> [(Int, Int)]
lcs xs ys = snd $ longest lenx leny xarr yarr (0,0)
  where
    lenx = length xs
    leny = length ys
    xarr = listArray (0,lenx-1) xs
    yarr = listArray (0,leny-1) ys

longest :: Ord a
        => Int -> Int
        -> Array Int a
        -> Array Int a -> (Int, Int)
        -> (Int, [(Int, Int)])
longest a b c d| a `seq` b `seq` c `seq` d `seq` False = undefined
longest lenx leny xarr yarr = dp ((0,0),(lenx,leny)) f
  where
    f rec (x,y)
      | x'ge'lenx && y'ge'leny = (0, [])
      | x'ge'lenx              = y'
      | y'ge'leny              = x'
      | xarr ! x == yarr ! y   = max (match $ rec (x+1,y+1)) m
      | otherwise              = m
      where
        m = max y' x'
        x'ge'lenx = x >= lenx
        y'ge'leny = y >= leny

        y' = miss (rec (x,y+1))
        x' = miss (rec (x+1,y))
        match (n,xs) = (n+1, (x,y):xs)
        miss = id
--        miss z (n,xs) = (n,z:xs)
