I am currently developing a chat script that allows users to specify their interests. Upon connecting to the server, the client sends a JSON payload over WebSocket containing information such as ID, hash, auto message, and interests.
{"id": int, "hash": md5, "automessage": {...}, "interests": ["cars", "programming", "stackoverflow"]}
Each new connection is added to a waiting array, and when another user connects, the last object in the array is removed to create pairs. I now need to create a function that analyzes the interests of all objects in the waiting array and returns the one with the most common interests. For instance, if the waiting array includes:
[
{"id": int,"hash": md5, "automessage": {...}, "interests": ["cats", "animals", "cars"]},
{"id": int,"hash": md5, "automessage": {...}, "interests": ["programming", "ssh", "stackoverflow"]},
{"id": int,"hash": md5, "automessage": {...}, "interests": ["climbing", "football", "coffee"]}
]
Upon receiving a message, the system will search through the array and return the object with the most similar interests. In this example, it would be
{"id": int,"hash": md5, "automessage": {...}, "interests": ["programming", "ssh", "stackoverflow"]}If no matching interests are found, the user will be added back to the waiting list.
I'm facing some challenges with this task, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
