edit-distance
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.
Installation
In Cargo.toml add
[dependencies]
edit-distance = "2.1.0"
Then re-run cargo build
. That fetches the dependencies and builds
the code.
Usage
extern crate edit_distance;
edit_distance("kitten", "sitting"); // => 3
