/* This is a proposed solution for Patrick Honner's question about scoring the
  "correctness" of an ordered list.  It uses the Levenshtein-Damerau edit
  distance (eliminating outright replacements) to calculate how many
  insertions, deletions, and adjacent character swaps it would take to turn
  one sequence into the "right" one.

  The arguments are:
 editDistanceDamerau[str1, str2, deleteCost, insertCost, replaceCost, swapCost]

  In this sample, replaceCost is set very high to eliminate replacements.

opts = ["A","B","C","D"]
correct = join["", opts]

// Generate all permutations of the list in lexicographic order.
for p = opts.lexicographicPermute[]
{
   // Turn the permuted array back into a string.
   alt = join["", p]
   
   // The 1000 here is the replacement cost, made to be higher than the length
   // of the string, effectively making the algorithm ignore replacements.
   score = editDistanceDamerau[alt, correct, 1, 1, 1000, 1]
   println["$alt\t$score"]
}
