{"library":"pylcs","title":"pylcs - Longest Common Subsequence","description":"pylcs is a Python library that provides a highly optimized C++ implementation of the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) algorithm. It is currently at version 0.1.1 and offers a fast way to compute the length of the LCS between two strings. The project appears to have an infrequent release cadence, with the last update in late 2022.","language":"python","status":"maintenance","last_verified":"Fri Apr 17","install":{"commands":["pip install pylcs"],"cli":null},"imports":["from pylcs import lcs"],"auth":{"required":false,"env_vars":[]},"quickstart":{"code":"from pylcs import lcs\n\nstr1 = \"ABCBDAB\"\nstr2 = \"BDCABA\"\n\n# Get the length of the longest common subsequence\nlcs_length = lcs(str1, str2)\n\nprint(f\"Strings: '{str1}', '{str2}'\")\nprint(f\"Length of LCS: {lcs_length}\")\n\n# Example with different strings\nstr3 = \"AGGTAB\"\nstr4 = \"GXTXAYB\"\nprint(f\"\\nStrings: '{str3}', '{str4}'\")\nprint(f\"Length of LCS: {lcs(str3, str4)}\")","lang":"python","description":"This example demonstrates how to import the `lcs` function and use it to calculate the length of the longest common subsequence between two strings.
