Line 22:
Two characters from <math>s_1</math> and <math>s_2</math> respectively, are considered ''matching'' only if they are the same and not farther apart than <math>\left\lfloor\frac{\max(|s_1|,|s_2|)}{2}\right\rfloor-1</math> characters.
Each character of <math>s_1</math> is compared with all its matching characters in <math>s_2</math>. Each difference in position is half a ''transposition''; that is, the number of transpositions is half the number of characters which are common to the two strings but occupy different positions in each one.
