sorensenDice(a, b): number

Compute the Sorensen-Dice coefficient between two strings.

Compares the bigrams (pairs of consecutive characters) of the two strings after removing all whitespace; case and Unicode normalization are not adjusted. Identical strings score 1.0; otherwise a string with fewer than two characters left scores 0.0. Returns a value between 0.0 and 1.0.
