  2. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    The most widely known string metric is a rudimentary one called the Levenshtein distance (also known as edit distance). [2] It operates between two input strings, returning a number equivalent to the number of substitutions and deletions needed in order to transform one input string into another.

  3. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    If text is entered that happens to be in a form that Excel interprets as a date, the text can be unintentionally changed to a standard date format. A similar problem occurs when a text happens to be in the form of a floating-point notation of a number. In these cases the original exact text cannot be recovered from the result. Formatting the ...

    Solution: divide one of the tall cells so that the row gets one rowspan=1 cell (and don't mind the eventual loss of text-centering). Then kill the border between them. Don't forget to fill the cell with nothing ({}). This being the only solution that correctly preserves the cell height, matching that of the reference seven row table.

    In group theory, a word metric on a discrete group is a way to measure distance between any two elements of .As the name suggests, the word metric is a metric on , assigning to any two elements , of a distance (,) that measures how efficiently their difference can be expressed as a word whose letters come from a generating set for the group.
