Boyer Moore String Search Algorithm

Boyer Moore string search algorithm is an efficient string searching algorithm which was developed by Robert S. Boyer and J Strother Moore in 1977. The time complexity is linear in terms of length of data to be searched and preprocessing complexity is linear as well

Rabin-Karp Pattern Searching Algorithm

Rabin-Karp Algorithm is an efficient string pattern searching algorithm that utilizes the technique of hashing to search for patterns in a string in linear time by using a clever way of calculating hashes. This algorithm has been developed by Richard M. Karp and Michael O. Rabin in 1987.

string algorithm

Z Algorithm function

The Z-function for a string S of length N is an array of length N where the i th element is equal to the greatest number of characters starting from the position i that coincide with the first characters of S.
