# enumerateNeighbors(for:maximumCount:distanceType:using:)

Passes the nearest strings of a string in the vocabulary to a closure.

## Declaration

```swift
@nonobjc func enumerateNeighbors(for string: String, maximumCount maxCount: Int, distanceType: NLDistanceType = .cosine, using block: (String, NLDistance) -> Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `string`: A string in the embedding vocabulary.
- `maxCount`: The largest number of times the method calls block.
- `distanceType`: A means of calculating distance that determines which formula the method uses to evaluate a neighbor’s distance from string.
- `block`: A closure with the following parameters: The closure returns a Boolean that indicates whether to stop enumerating neighbors.
