2つの文字列を比較して、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の場合にはあまり適していません。私は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、数値、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がありますか？
Ultimately none of these served my purpose so I used this:
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;
}
// create object listing the SOUNDEX values for each letter
// -1 indicates that the letter is not coded, but is used for coding
// 0 indicates that the letter is omitted for modern census archives

// 1 is for BFPV
// 2 is for CGJKQSXZ
// 3 is for DT
