string_jaro_distance

Functions

• string_jaro_distance(first, second, first_length, second_length) ⇒ number

Calculate Jaro distance between two strings, this is a measure of string similarity. Higher value means more similarity.

• getMatching(a1, a2, matches1, matches2) ⇒ number

Find matching characters in both strings according to Jaro algorithm

• getTranspositions(a1, a2, matches1, matches2) ⇒ number

Calculate the number of transpositions between the two words
