The Distance method is a static extension method provided by the SandboxSystemExtensions class. It calculates the Levenshtein distance between two strings, source and target. The Levenshtein distance is a measure of the difference between two sequences, representing the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions) required to change one string into the other.
To use the Distance method, you need to pass two strings as parameters. The method will return an integer representing the Levenshtein distance between the two strings.
This method is useful for applications that require string comparison, such as spell checking, DNA sequence analysis, or any other domain where string similarity is important.
// Example usage of the Distance method string source = "kitten"; string target = "sitting"; int distance = SandboxSystemExtensions.Distance(source, target); // distance will be 3, as it takes three edits to change "kitten" to "sitting"
