#![warn(missing_docs)]

//! # Similar String - the library for finding string similarities
//! 
//! With this library you can easily find rate of similarity of two strings or array of strings.
//! Under the hood LCS (length finding variant) algorithm is used with O(n * m) time complexity and O(min(n, m)) memory complexity.
//! 
//! # Example
//! ```
//! use similar_string::*;
//! 
//! // Compares similarity of two strings and returns similarity rating.
//! // The rating is returned as a f64 value in range from 0.0 to 1.0.
//! compare_similarity("age", "page"); // 0.75
//! 
//! let options = vec!["fill", "night", "ride"];
//! 
//! // Finds the best match amongst the options
//! // and returns match with it's rating
//! find_best_similarity("fight", &options); // ("night", 0.8)
//! 
//! // Returns all the similarity ratings
//! // of the provided options
//! get_similarity_ratings("fight", &options); // [0.4, 0.8, 0.2]
//! ```
//! 
//! # LCS Algorithm
//! 
//! You can also use the `lcs_length` that is used under the hood to compute length of longest common subsequence.
//! 
//! ```
//! use similar_string::lcs_length;
//! 
//! // The longest common subsequence in this case is "one"
//! lcs_length("longest", "stone"); // 3
//! ```
