    This morning before work for example, after a lot of effort, I finally figured out how to get the Levenshtein Edit Distance between 2 strings without a loop (just for fun because it's something I've never seen done).

    Heh... if that's how you warm up for the day, then you've got me beat by a mile.

    You can just bet I'm going to do a deep dive on your rendition of this famous problem... especially since you did it with a Tally Table. Thanks for doing it and thanks for posting it.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
