In computer science, there is the notion of the edit distance between two strings. 1  For example, the words dog and dot, which vary by only one letter, are closer than dog and cat, which differ by three letters. This idea is used in spell checkers and in coding theory, and is mathematically formalized in several different ways, such as: 1  Levenshtein distance. 2  Hamming distance. 3  Lee distance. 4  JaroâWinkler distance. 5  N-gram distance.
