In RapidFuzz: String Similarity Computation Using 'RapidFuzz'

Calculate the normalized prefix similarity between two strings

Description

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

Usage

prefix_normalized_similarity(s1, s2, score_cutoff = 0)

Arguments

s1	A string. The first input string.
s2	A string. The second input string.
score_cutoff	An optional minimum threshold for the normalized similarity. Defaults to 0.0.

Value

The normalized prefix similarity as a double.

Examples

prefix_normalized_similarity("abcdef", "abcxyz")
prefix_normalized_similarity("abcdef", "abcxyz", score_cutoff = 0.7)
