c# - Show similar products or variants -


i want show similar products called variants product. doing below:

public ilist<product> getvariants(string productname) {     efcontext db = new efcontext();  //using entity framework     return db.products            .where(product = > product.productname == productname)            .tolist(); }

but , results exact match, current product itself. thinking use levenshtein distance basis similar products. , before want check majority developers getting variants?

  1. is use levenshtein distance ? used in industry purpose?
  2. do have add table in database showing variants product while adding product database?

i used jaro-winkler distance account typos in 1 system wrote while back. imo, it's better simple edit distance calculation can account string lengths effectively. see this question on open source implementations.

i ended writing in c# , importing sql server sql clr function, still relatively slow. worked in case because such queries executed infrequently (100-200 in day).

if expect lot of traffic, you'd have build index make these lookups faster. 1 strategy periodically compute distance between each pair of products each pair of products , store in index table if distance exceeds threshold. reduce amount of work needs done, can run once or twice day , can limit new or modified records since last run. can similar products , order distance quickly.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
