Hello I would like to ask some help how I can do this in Jquery
Count the number of matching words (in order) between two strings so I can generate accuracy.
// Example string1 = "The lazy fox jumps over the fence" // (7 words) string2 = "The lazy dog jumps under a fence yesterday" // (8 words)
Output: 4
Accuracy is (4 correct words/7 words to check) = 57%
Any idea will be appreciated

You could split
each string to words and match the same words by using filter
function getWords(str) { return str.split(" ").filter(Boolean); } function getMatchedWords(words1, words2) { return words1.filter((word) => words2.includes(word)); } const string1 = "The lazy fox jumps over the fence"; const string2 = "The lazy dog jumps under a fence yesterday"; const words1 = getWords(string1); const words2 = getWords(string2); const matchedWords = getMatchedWords(words1, words2); const ratio = +((100 * matchedWords.length) / words1.length).toPrecision(2); console.log(ratio);
