Base 1: the first character is numbered 1, and so on. Any leading or trailing whitespace is removed from the string before searching. If the requested position is negative, this function will search the string counting from the last character. In other words, number = -1 is the same as asking for the last character of the string.

A string is a substring (or factor) [1] of a string if there exists two strings and such that =.In particular, the empty string is a substring of every string. Example: The string = ana is equal to substrings (and subsequences) of = banana at two different offsets:
In the array containing the E(x, y) values, we then choose the minimal value in the last row, let it be E(x 2, y 2), and follow the path of computation backwards, back to the row number 0. If the field we arrived at was E(0, y 1), then T[y 1 + 1] ... T[y 2] is a substring of T with the minimal edit distance to the pattern P.
The variable z is used to hold the length of the longest common substring found so far. The set ret is used to hold the set of strings which are of length z. The set ret can be saved efficiently by just storing the index i, which is the last character of the longest common substring (of size z) instead of S[(i-z+1)..i].
Thus, for example, given a character a ∈ Σ, one has f(a)=L a where L a ⊆ Δ * is some language whose alphabet is Δ. This mapping may be extended to strings as f(ε)=ε. for the empty string ε, and f(sa)=f(s)f(a) for string s ∈ L and character a ∈ Σ. String substitutions may be extended to entire languages as [1]
A prefix of S is a substring S[1..i] for some i in range [1, l], where l is the length of S. A suffix of S is a substring S[i..l] for some i in range [1, l], where l is the length of S. An alignment of P to T is an index k in T such that the last character of P is aligned with index k of T.
Presented here are two algorithms: the first, [8] simpler one, computes what is known as the optimal string alignment distance or restricted edit distance, [7] while the second one [9] computes the Damerau–Levenshtein distance with adjacent transpositions.
