2 つの文字列を比較し、それらが類似している可能性を返すことができる JavaScript 関数を探しています。私はsoundexを見てきましたが、それは複数の単語の文字列や名前以外にはあまり適していません。次のような関数を探しています：
function compare(strA,strB){
}
compare("Apples","apple") = Some X Percentage.
この関数は、数字、複数単語の値、名前など、すべてのタイプの文字列で機能します。おそらく、私が使用できる簡単なアルゴリズムはありますか？
最終的に、これらのどれも私の目的に役立たなかったので、これを使用しました：
function compare(c, u) {
var incept = false;
var ca = c.split(",");
u = clean(u);
//ca = correct answer array (Collection of all correct answer)
//caa = a single correct answer word array (collection of words of a single correct answer)
//u = array of user answer words cleaned using custom clean function
for (var z = 0; z < ca.length; z++) {
caa = $.trim(ca[z]).split(" ");
var pc = 0;
for (var x = 0; x < caa.length; x++) {
for (var y = 0; y < u.length; y++) {
if (soundex(u[y]) != null && soundex(caa[x]) != null) {
if (soundex(u[y]) == soundex(caa[x])) {
pc = pc + 1;
}
}
else {
if (u[y].indexOf(caa[x]) > -1) {
pc = pc + 1;
}
}
}
}
if ((pc / caa.length) > 0.5) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
