Functions

func ComputeDistance

func ComputeDistance(a, b string) int

ComputeDistance computes the levenshtein distance between the two strings passed as an argument. The return value is the levenshtein distance

Works on runes (Unicode code points) but does not normalize the input strings. See https://blog.golang.org/normalization and the golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm package.
