# enumerateNeighborsForString:maximumCount:maximumDistance:distanceType:usingBlock:

Passes the nearest strings, within a radius of a string in the vocabulary, to a block.

## Declaration

```occ
- (void) enumerateNeighborsForString:(NSString *) string maximumCount:(NSUInteger) maxCount maximumDistance:(NLDistance) maxDistance distanceType:(NLDistanceType) distanceType usingBlock:(void (^)(NSString *neighbor, NLDistance distance, BOOL *stop)) block;
```

## 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 block with the following parameters:
