clean
(package private) static String clean(String str)
Cleans up the input string before Soundex processing by only returning
upper case letters.
str
- The String to clean.
difference
(package private) static int difference(StringEncoder encoder,
String s1,
String s2)
throws EncoderException
Encodes the Strings and returns the number of characters in the two
encoded Strings that are the same.
- For Soundex, this return value ranges from 0 through 4: 0 indicates
little or no similarity, and 4 indicates strong similarity or identical
values.
- For refined Soundex, the return value can be greater than 4.
encoder
- The encoder to use to encode the Strings.s1
- A String that will be encoded and compared.s2
- A String that will be encoded and compared.
- The number of characters in the two Soundex encoded Strings that
are the same.
differenceEncoded
(package private) static int differenceEncoded(String es1,
String es2)
Returns the number of characters in the two Soundex encoded Strings that
are the same.
- For Soundex, this return value ranges from 0 through 4: 0 indicates
little or no similarity, and 4 indicates strong similarity or identical
values.
- For refined Soundex, the return value can be greater than 4.
es1
- An encoded String.es2
- An encoded String.
- The number of characters in the two Soundex encoded Strings that
are the same.
