PreferenceMatcher is a versatile algorithm designed to match individuals with similar preferences based on responses gathered through Google Forms. Whether you're looking for a compatible roommate, a book exchange partner, or a collaborator for a music project, PreferenceMatcher is here to streamline the process.
Each participant is represented as an array, with each dimension of the array corresponding to the option selected for a specific question. The key assumption is that the sequential order of options reflects the degree of preference, with option 'a' being closer to 'b' than 'c'. This sequential arrangement ensures that a person selecting options 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' would be considered a closer match with someone who chose 'a', 'c', 'b', 'd' rather than 'a', 'b', 'j', 'd'.
