Make names of variables reflect what they mean #19

Rename the variable for s0[i] from s1i to s0i and similarly for s1[j]

This is a very minor change but I think it would reduce confusion while reading/debugging the code (it did for me anyway).

@lanzkron thanks!

Thank you!

Can you explain (or point me to an explanation of) the algorithm here? I'm trying to understand the meaning of v0 and v1 and why they are swapped after each char in s0.

I understand the basics of Levenshtein Distance but this algorithm is different.
