Closest Property

When given an object and a string, will return the value corresponding to the key that is the closest (according to the levenshtein distance, where case is ignored) to the given string.

It may be useful when trying to access members with small spelling mistakes etc.

}
 
const userInput = 'bubblesort'
 
console.log(closest(bestCaseTimeComplexity, userInput)) // 'O(n^2)'
