Difference()
Gets the difference between strings as a Decimal value
OutputVar := instance.Difference(strFrist)
OutputVar := instance.Difference(strFrist, maxDistance)
OutputVar := MfString.Difference(strFirst, strSecond)
OutputVar := MfString.Difference(strFirst, strSecond, maxDistance)
Gets the Difference between MfString instance and the strFirst argument
maxDistance of 5 if applied.
Gets the Difference between MfString instance and the strFirst argument with an included Max Distance.
Gets the Difference between argument strFirst and argument strSecond
maxDistance of 5 if applied.
Gets the Difference between argument strFirst and argument strSecond argument with an included Max Distance.
strFirst
the second string to compare.
Can be instance of MfString or var containing string.
strSecond
the second string to compare.
Can be instance of MfString or var containing string.
maxDistance
Integer tells the algorithm to stop if the strings are already too different.
Can be instance of MfInteger or var containing integer.
Returns returns the difference between the strings as a MfFloat between 0 and 1.
0 means strings are identical. 1 means they have nothing in common.
If ReturnAsObject Property for this instance is true then returns MfFloat otherwise returns var containing Float value.
Throws MfArgumentException if the incorrect number or type of parameters are passed in.
Throws MfNotSupportedException if Overloads can not match Parameters.
Variadic Method; This method is Variadic so you may construct an instance of MfParams containing any of the overload method parameters listed above and pass in the MfParams instance to the method instead of using the overloads described above. See MfParams for more information.
