Description🔗

suggest_lexiconSuggestLexicon compares Wordwordword to all words in the lexicon and calculates the minimum number of edit operations NumCorrectionsnumCorrectionsnum_corrections required to transform Wordwordword into a word from the lexicon. Valid edit operations are the insertion, deletion and replacement of characters. The most similar word found in the lexicon is returned in Suggestionsuggestionsuggestion. If there are multiple words with the same minimum number of corrections, only the first of those words is returned.
