Seeing below line.
https://github.com/halostatue/diff-lcs/blob/v1.3/lib/diff/lcs/ldiff.rb#L100

@binary = (not old_txt) or (not new_txt)

Current logic

Current logic is like this.

$ cat binary.rb 
# old_txt is empty.
old_txt = true
# new_txt is not empty
new_txt = false

binary = (not old_txt) or (not new_txt)

puts binary
$ ruby binary.rb 
false

In this case, it seems that the (not new_txt) is always not evaluated.

The logic to add brackets (...).

$ cat binary2.rb 
# old_txt is empty.
old_txt = true
# new_txt is not empty
new_txt = false

binary = ((not old_txt) or (not new_txt))

puts binary
$ ruby binary2.rb 
true

Is this logic correct?

The problem here was the precedence of `or` vs `||`. Switching to `||` resulted
in the expected behaviour.

# This is the 1st commit message:

Fix improperly placed chunks

Resolve #65

- Also add even more tests for checking `ldiff` results against `diff` results.
- Fix issues with diff/ldiff output highlighted by the above tests.
- Add a parameter to indicate that the hunk being processed is the _last_ hunk;
  this results in correct counting of the hunk size.
- The misplaced chunks were happening because of an improper `.abs` on
  `#diff_size`, when the `.abs` needed to be on the finding of the maximum diff
  size.

- Resolve #65: Two different issues were reported:

  - Line numbers changed between 1.3 and 1.4. This change is intentional, but
    in comparing the output against `diff` for the new examples provided
    it became clear that for unified and context diffs, the last hunk was
    reporting incorrect hunk lengths (that is, if it was `12,4 11,8`, it should
    have been `12,3 11,7`. This has been resolved by providing
    `Diff::LCS::Hunk#diff` an additional parameter, `last` which defaults to
    `false`.

  - Net new lines were added in the middle of a unified diff hunk, which was
    incorrect. That is, we were getting:

    ```diff
    @@ -10,6 +11,10 @@
    recipe[j::default]
    recipe[k::default]
    recipe[l::default]
    +recipe[o::new]
    +recipe[p::new]
    +recipe[q::new]
    +recipe[r::new]
    recipe[m::default]
    recipe[n::default]
    ```

    instead of:

    ```diff
    @@ -12,3 +11,7 @@
    recipe[l::default]
    recipe[m::default]
    recipe[n::default]
    +recipe[o::new]
    +recipe[p::new]
    +recipe[q::new]
    +recipe[r::new]
    ```

    This has been resolved. The error was that `Diff::LCS::Block#diff_size` was
    applying `.abs` to its output, which is incorrect. We need to know the
    direction of the size for placing changes, but when determining the maximum
    block size for use in `Diff::LCS::Hunk#diff` calculations, we need to know
    the `.abs` size.

  - New tests were added to prevent these changes from regressing in the
    future, both as issue tests and as additional `ldiff` tests. These tests
    highlighted more issues with diff-lcs output as compared to `diff`,
    specifically the handling and reporting of missing newlines at the end of
    files. All of the issues highlighted were resolved and the structure of
    `ldiff` tests was changed so that it is easier to add new comparison files
    at any time.

- Resolve #35: Indicate that when comparing against custom objects, `#eql?`
  must be implemented such that objects that _resolve_ to the same meaning are
  _treated_ as the same meaning. This is important because the basic LCS
  algorithm uses a hash for position matching.

- Resolve #43: Provide a more meaningful error from `Diff::LCS::Hunk.new` if
  the `piece` provided does not create useful `Diff::LCS::Block`. It's
  extremely unlikely, this error will be more useful than `NoMethodError` being
  thrown.

- Resolve #44: `ldiff` binary detection failed to work correctly. It had been
  `!old_text or !new_text`, but the precedence of `or` broke that. It is now
  `!old_text || !new_text`.

Also:

- Ran Rubocop again. Updated configuration definitions, fixed some code
  formatting.
