Z Algorithm
This algorithm is named Z Algorithm because, in this algorithm, we need to create a Z array. The size of the Z array is the same as the text size. This array is used to store the length of longest possible substring starting from the current character of the main string. At first, the pattern and the main text are concatenated with a special symbol which is not present in the text and pattern. If the P is pattern and T is the main text, then after concatenation, it would be P$T (Assuming $ is not present in the P ...
Read MoreSuffix Array
From a given string, we can get all possible suffixes. After sorting the suffixes in lexicographical order, we can get the suffix array. Suffix arrays can also be formed using suffix trees. By using the DFS traversal of suffix trees, we can get suffix arrays. Suffix arrays are helpful to find suffixes in linear time. We can also find substrings using suffix array by using binary search type procedure.The time complexity is O(m log n)Input and OutputInput: Main String: “BANANA”, Pattern: “NAN” Output: Pattern found at position: 2AlgorithmfillSuffixArray (text, suffArray)Input: The main stringOutput: The array of suffixesBegin n := text Length ...
Read MoreTrie of all Suffixes
From the text, we can generate all suffixes to make a tree structure. We know that every pattern that presents in the text, must be a prefix of one of the possible suffix in the text. By building Trie of all suffixes, we can find any substring in linear time. Every suffix is ending with string terminating symbol. From each node if there is any path, it moves forward, otherwise returns that pattern is not found.For this algorithm, the time complexity is O(m+k), where the m is the length of string and k is the frequency of the pattern in ...
Read MoreAnagram Pattern Search
Anagrams are basically all permutations of a given string or pattern. This pattern searching algorithm is slightly different. In this case, not only the exact pattern is searched, it searches all possible arrangements of the given pattern in the text.To solve this problem, we will divide the whole texts into several windows of length same as patterns. Then count on each character of the pattern is found and stored in an array. For each window, we also try to find the count array, then check whether they are matching or not.The time Complexity of Anagram Pattern Search Algorithm is O(n).Input ...
Read MoreBad Character Heuristic
The bad character heuristic method is one of the approaches of Boyer Moore Algorithm. Another approach is Good Suffix Heuristic. In this method we will try to find a bad character, that means a character of the main string, which is not matching with the pattern. When the mismatch has occurred, we will shift the entire pattern until the mismatch becomes a match, otherwise, pattern moves past the bad character.Here the time complexity is O(m/n) for best case and O(mn)for the worst case, where n is the length of the text and m is the length of the pattern.Input and ...
Read MoreIntroduction to Pattern Searching Algorithms
Pattern Searching algorithms are used to find a pattern or substring from another bigger string. There are different algorithms. The main goal to design these type of algorithms to reduce the time complexity. The traditional approach may take lots of time to complete the pattern searching task for a longer text. Here we will see different algorithms to get a better performance of pattern matching. In this Section We are going to cover.
