LCSExperiment

To Build: make

To Run, type: ./runner.py -h for options.

usage: runner.py [-h] [-v] [-a] [-s N [N ...]] [-l] [-d N]
                 (-i | -r RANDOM [RANDOM ...] | -c S S)

Runner script for the Fundamentals of Algorithms group project for timing 
and analyzing LCS functions.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -a, --all             Run all LCS versions in sequence.
  -s N [N ...], --select N [N ...]
                        Pass a list of tests to run by number.
  -l, --list            List runnable tests.
  -d N, --ittr N        The number of times to iterate
  -i, --stdin           Pipe strings via stdin rather than on command line.
  -r RANDOM [RANDOM ...], --random RANDOM [RANDOM ...]
                        Gen two random strings, within lengths Min and Max
                        of alphabet.
  -c S S, --strings S S
                        Pass strings on the command line rather than via
                        stdin.

Example Usage:

• Testing only LCS version 2 and 3 on two simple strings:

  ./runner.py -s 2 3 -c aabb abab

• Testing all LCS versions on two strings delimited by a new line in a file called 'test_input':

  cat test_input | ./runner.py -a -i
