and I want to detect the changes from a to b. <

Answer 1

I tested with 3 examples above, and it returns the expected result properly and perfectly.

        int flag = 0;
        int flag_2 = 0;

        string a = "asdfghjk";
        string b = "wsedrftr";

        char[] array_a = a.ToCharArray();
        char[] array_b = b.ToCharArray();

        for (int i = 0,j = 0, n= 0; i < array_b.Count(); i++)
        {   
            //Execute 1 time until reach first equal character   
            if(i == 0 && a.Contains(array_b[0]))
            {
                while (array_a[n] != array_b[0])
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_a[n], " : Remove"));
                    n++;
                }
                Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_a[n], " : Equal"));
                n++;
            }
            else if(i == 0 && !a.Contains(array_b[0]))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_a[n], " : Remove"));
                n++;
                Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_b[0], " : Add"));
            }


            else
            {
                if(n < array_a.Count())
                {
                    if (array_a[n] == array_b[i])
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_a[n], " : Equal"));
                        n++;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        flag = 0;
                        for (int z = n; z < array_a.Count(); z++)
                        {                              
                            if (array_a[z] == array_b[i])
                            {
                                flag = 1;
                                break;
                            }                                                              
                        }

                        if (flag == 0)
                        {
                            flag_2 = 0;
                            for (int aa = i; aa < array_b.Count(); aa++)
                            {
                                for(int bb = n; bb < array_a.Count(); bb++)
                                {
                                    if (array_b[aa] == array_a[bb])
                                    {
                                        flag_2 = 1;
                                        break;
                                    }
                                }
                            }

                            if(flag_2 == 1)
                            {
                                Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_b[i], " : Add"));
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                for (int z = n; z < array_a.Count(); z++)
                                {
                                    Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_a[z], " : Remove"));
                                    n++;
                                }
                                 Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(array_b[i], " : Add"));
                            }

                            i--;
                            n++;
                        }

                    }
                }
                else
