Функция:
public float simpleSimilarity(String u, String v) {
String[] a = u.split(" ");
String[] b = v.split(" ");
long correct = 0;
int minLen = Math.min(a.length, b.length);
for (int i = 0; i < minLen; i++) {

String bb = b[i];
int minWordLength = Math.min(aa.length(), bb.length());

}
}
}

}
Тест:
String a = "This is the first string.";
String b = "this is not 1st string!";
// for exact string comparison, use .equals
boolean exact = a.equals(b);
// For similarity check, there are libraries for this
// Here I'll try a simple example I wrote
float similarity = simple_similarity(a,b);
