damerau_levenshtein_similarity: Damerau-Levenshtein Similarity

In RapidFuzz: String Similarity Computation Using 'RapidFuzz'

Damerau-Levenshtein Similarity

Description

Calculate the Damerau-Levenshtein similarity between two strings.

Computes the similarity based on the Damerau-Levenshtein metric, which considers transpositions in addition to substitutions, insertions, and deletions.

Usage

damerau_levenshtein_similarity(s1, s2, score_cutoff = 0L)

Arguments

s1	A string. The first input string.
s2	A string. The second input string.
score_cutoff	An optional minimum threshold for the similarity score. Defaults to 0.

Value

The Damerau-Levenshtein similarity as an integer.

Examples

damerau_levenshtein_similarity("abcdef", "abcfde")
damerau_levenshtein_similarity("abcdef", "abcfde", score_cutoff = 3)
