Which function returns an integer between 0 and 100 when used to calculate the similarity of two strings?

The correct answer is B. JAROWINKLER_SIMILARITY. JAROWINKLER_SIMILARITY(str1, str2) returns an integer between 0 and 100, where 0 means no similarity and 100 means identical strings. It implements the Jaro-Winkler distance algorithm, which is particularly effective for short strings and typo detection. By contrast…

Explanation

JAROWINKLER_SIMILARITY(str1, str2) returns an integer between 0 and 100, where 0 means no similarity and 100 means identical strings. It implements the Jaro-Winkler distance algorithm, which is particularly effective for short strings and typo detection. By contrast, APPROXIMATE_JACCARD_INDEX returns a float between 0.0 and 1.0, not an integer in the 0–100 range.
