$mol_text_distance

Calculates the lexicographical distance between two texts.

Algorithm

- A simple and fast.
- Text profile based.
- Normalized from 0 (equal) to 1 (different).
- Rearrangement of words gives short distance.
- Different texts length support.
- Independent of changes position.
- Complexity O(n).
- Memory usage O(log n).
- For equal length texts it's a metric).
