<pre>
Soundex( <str> )
</pre>

=== Description ===

Calculate the soundex key of a string.

=== Parameters ===

==== string ====

The input string.

=== Return Value ===

Returns the soundex key as a string.

=== Remarks ===

Soundex keys have the property that words pronounced similarly produce the same soundex key, and can thus be used to simplify searches in databases where you know the pronunciation but not the spelling.

This soundex function returns a string 4 characters long, starting with a letter.

This particular soundex function is one described by Donald Knuth in "The Art Of Computer Programming, vol. 3: Sorting And Searching", Addison-Wesley (1973), pp. 391-392.

=== Example ===

say soundex("Euler"); // E460
say soundex("Gauss"); // G200
say soundex("Hilbert"); // H416
say soundex("Knuth"); // K530
say soundex("Lloyd"); // L300
say soundex("Lukasiewicz"); // L222
