I am trying to create a cosine similarity function and then display the results in a HTML element. I have written the following:
function cosinesim(A,B){
var dotproduct=0;
var mA=0;
var mB=0;
for(i = 0; i < A.length;){
dotproduct += (A[i] * B[i]);
mA += (A[i]*A[i]);
mB += (B[i]*B[i]);
}
mA = Math.sqrt(mA);
mB = Math.sqrt(mB);
var similarity = (dotproduct)/(mA)*(mB)
return similarity;
}
//.....
var array1 = [1,0,0,1];
var array2 = [1,0,0,0];
var p = cosinesim(array1,array2);
document.getElementById("sim").innerHTML = String(p);
I have tested and both the arrays I am inputting are the same length, however when my code runs to this bit it crashes and I cant seem to find what is wrong.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
you missed i++
in your loop which leads to an endless one
replacing for(i = 0; i < A.length;)
to for(i = 0; i < A.length;i++)
fixed the issue
