Calculate Levenshtein distance between two strings.
The Levenshtein edit distance is a measure for the similarity between two strings. It's helpful for spelling correction, fuzzy completion, type-ahead and similar use cases.
This implementation supports Unicode.
In Cargo.toml add
[dependencies]
edit-distance = "2.1.2"Then re-run cargo build. That fetches the dependencies and builds
the code.
extern crate edit_distance;
edit_distance("kitten", "sitting"); // => 3Test changes before comitting.
cargo clean
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo build
