| * A edit distance measures the similarity between two character sequences. Closer strings |
| * have shorter distances, and vice-versa. |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * This is a BiFunction<CharSequence, CharSequence, R>. |
| * The <code>apply</code> method |
| * accepts a pair of {@link CharSequence} parameters |
| * and returns an <code>R</code> type similarity score. |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * @param <R> The type of similarity score unit used by this EditDistance. |
