Pull Request Overview
This PR implements the Levenshtein Distance algorithm in R, a dynamic programming solution that calculates the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions) required to transform one string into another. The implementation includes comprehensive documentation explaining the algorithm's complexity and real-world applications, along with example usage demonstrating various test cases including edge cases with empty strings.

The roxygen2 documentation format is incorrect. Parameter descriptions should use @param s1 First string
without the colon, and the return description should use @return The integer Levenshtein distance
without the colon."
