How to compare 2 strings and find the difference in percentage? [closed]

Answer 1

Something along the lines of

string str1 = "ðə ɻɛd fɑks ɪz hʌŋgɻi";
string str2 = "ðæt ɪt foks ɪn ðʌ sʌn ɻe͡i";

char[] str1Char = str1.ToCharArray();
char[] str2Char = str2.ToCharArray();

int matchCount = 0;
int unmatchedCount = 0;


for (int x = 0; x>= str1Char.Length || x >= str2Char; x++;)
{
   if (str1Char[x] == str2Char[x])
      matchCount++;
   else
      unmatchedCount++;
}

int longestString = str1Char.Length;
if (str2Char.Length > longestString )
    longestString = str2Char.Length;

int perc = (matchCount/longestString )*100;

this will fall over if the first string is shorter than the second but you get the jist
