Calculate the edit distance between two sequences.
Edit distance is defined as the minimum number of edit operations required to move from one sequence to another. The edit operations considered are:
ptr1 | A pointer to the start of the first sequence. |
len1 | The length of the first sequence. |
ptr2 | A pointer to the start of the second sequence. |
len2 | The length of the first sequence. |
max_distance | The greatest edit distance that's interesting to us. If the true edit distance is > max_distance, any value > max_distance may be returned instead (which allows the edit distance algorithm to avoid work for poor matches). |
