String matching
• Text-editing programs frequently need to find all occurrences of a
pattern in the text
• the text is a document being edited
• The pattern searched for is a particular word supplied by the user.
• string matching” can increase the responsiveness of the text-editing
programs.
• Examples like DNA sequence patterns and internet search engines
make use of String-matching algorithms
• We assume that the text is an array T [1… n] of length n and the
pattern is an array P[1…m] m of length m <=n
• We assume that the elements of “P” and “T” are characters drawn
from a finite alphabet ∑.
• Eg: ∑={0,1} or ∑={a,b,….z} The character arrays P and T are often
called strings of characters
if pattern P occurs with shift s in text T, then we call s as valid shift.
Otherwise, it is an invalid shift
Here The pattern occurs only once in the text, at shift s = 3, which we call a
valid shift
Notation and terminology
• ∑* the set of all finite-length strings formed using characters from the
alphabet ∑.
• The zero-length empty string, denoted ε, also belongs to ∑*.
• The length of a string x is denoted |x|.
• The concatenation of two strings x and y, denoted xy, has length
|x|+|y|; x followed by y
• a string w is a prefix of a string x, if x = wy for some string
y∈ ∑* also |w|<=|x|
a string w is a suffix of a string x, if x = yw for some string y∈ ∑*
also |w|<=|x|
• NAIVE-STRING-MATCHER takes time O((n-m+1)m) and this bound is
tight in the worst case.
• Because it requires no preprocessing, NAIVESTRING-MATCHER’s
Advance algorithms in master of technology
The Rabin-Karp algorithm
• Uses Hashing to find whether the pattern exists in the text or not
• Firstly we will generate the hash of the given pattern
• Then we will take all substrings of same length present in text as a
pattern and compare their Hash with the pattern Hash, If both Hash
values are same, then complete with the pattern.
• Assume ∑={0,1,2,..9} so that each character is a decimal digit d=10
• Given a pattern p[1…m] and p denote its hash value
• Given a text T[1…n] and 𝑡𝑠 denote hash value of substring of length m
• If p[1…m]=T[s+1,….s+m] and 𝑡𝑠 =p then S is a valid shift

String matching with finite automata
A finite automaton is a simple machine for processing information that
scans the text string T for all occurrences of the pattern P.
A “finite automaton” (FA) is five tuple (Q, 𝑞0, A, ∑,δ)
where
• For any given input string x over the alphabet ∑, a finite automata(FA)
* starts from starting state 𝑞0∈ Q
*Reads the string x, character by character by changing state
after each character read.
• The Finite Automata (FA)
*accepts the string x, if it ends up in an accepting state
* Rejects the string x, if it does not end up in an accepting state
Advance algorithms in master of technology
• The string-matching automata are very efficient, they examine each
text character exactly once
• The preprocessing time required to compute the transition
function(δ) for ∑ is given by O(M| ∑|)
• The matching time on a text string of length n is because it examines
each character exactly once.

Boyer- Moore String Matching Algorithm
• It is an efficient string-searching algorithm that is the standard
benchmark for practical string-search algorithms.
• The algorithm preprocesses the string being searched for the pattern
but not the string being searched in the text.
• The Boyer-Moore algorithm uses information gathered during
preprocessing to skip text sections, resulting in a lower constant
factor than many other string search algorithms.
• Key features
* matches on the tail of the pattern rather than the head.
*skips the text in jumps of multiple characters rather than searching
every single character in the text
*A shift is calculated by applying two rules
*bad character rule
*good suffix rule
• Bad character rule: The bad character rule considers the character in
T at which the comparison process failed by using
shift=length-index-1 * length=pattern length
* index=character
• Good suffix rule:
shift(D)=max(shift(char)-k,1) *char=bad move character
*K=NO of char match

The Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm
• linear-time string-matching algorithm
• Works on the principle of suffix and prefix of string(pattern)
• The prefix function ∏ for a pattern encapsulates knowledge about
how the pattern matches against shifts of itself
