# Levenshtein distance

> Calculate the [Levenshtein distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance) between two strings.

The Levenshtein distance between two strings is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one string into the other.
