Expand description

Computes the Hamming edit distance between two UTF8 strings, counting the number of substituted variable-length characters. Difference in length is added to the result as well.

§Arguments

  • first: The first byte slice.
  • second: The second byte slice.
  • bound: The maximum distance to compute, allowing for early exit.

§Returns

A usize representing the minimum number of single-character edits (substitutions) required to change first into second.
