Computes the normalized distance of the prefixes of two strings, where the result is between 0.0 (identical) and 1.0 (completely different).

Usage

prefix_normalized_distance(s1, s2, score_cutoff = 1)

Arguments

s1

A string. The first input string.

s2

A string. The second input string.

score_cutoff

An optional maximum threshold for the normalized distance. Defaults to 1.0.

Value

The normalized prefix distance as a double.

Examples

prefix_normalized_distance("abcdef", "abcxyz")
#> [1] 0.5
prefix_normalized_distance("abcdef", "abcxyz", score_cutoff = 0.5)
#> [1] 0.5
