The Myers diff algorithm finds the shortest edit script (minimum insertions and deletions) to transform text A into text B. It operates in O(ND) time where N is total length and D is the edit distance.
Edit distance = minimum insertions + deletions; LCS (Longest Common Subsequence) = total - edit_distanceUnified diff shows context lines with +/- markers. Side-by-side diff shows both versions aligned. Inline diff highlights changed words/characters within lines. Semantic diff groups related changes logically.
