Abstract

An apparatus and method displays an error between a first sequence of numbers and a second sequence of numbers. A plurality of respectively different algorithms is provided for comparing the first sequence of numbers and the second sequence of numbers. At least one of the algorithms is selected to compare the first sequence of numbers and the second sequence of numbers. The selected algorithm(s) are applied to the first sequence of numbers and the second sequence of numbers in order to identify the error, wherein the error is a discrepancy between one of the numbers in the first sequence and another of the numbers in the second sequence. The error is displayed by simultaneously displaying and indicating the numbers from each sequence that have the discrepancy. For at least one of the algorithms the numbers from each of the sequences have a matching associated label. At least one of the algorithms applies fuzzy matching to the numbers from each of the sequences. At least one of the algorithms adds the numbers from one of the sequences to obtain a partial addition sum and displays the partial addition sum with one of the numbers from the other sequence. For at least one of the algorithms the discrepancy is between non-identical positions within the two sequences.
