Calculates and applies a sequence of changes to convert one text string into another.
Once created, the TextDiff object contains an array of change objects, where each change can be either an insertion or a deletion. When applied in order to the original string, these changes will convert it to the target string.
Creates a set of diffs for converting the original string into the target.
Applies this sequence of changes to the original string, producing the target string that was specified when generating them.
Obviously it only makes sense to call this function with the string that was originally passed to the constructor. Any other input will produce an undefined result.
