prefix_normalized_distance: Calculate the normalized prefix distance between two strings

In RapidFuzz: String Similarity Computation Using 'RapidFuzz'

Calculate the normalized prefix distance between two strings

Description

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")
prefix_normalized_distance("abcdef", "abcxyz", score_cutoff = 0.5)
