    ----------
    src : str
        Source string (or QGrams/Counter objects) for comparison
    tar : str
        Target string (or QGrams/Counter objects) for comparison
    qval : int

    alphabet : collection or int
        The values or size of the alphabet

    Returns
    -------
    float
