  2. Trie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie

    Searching for a value in a trie is guided by the characters in the search string key, as each node in the trie contains a corresponding link to each possible character in the given string. Thus, following the string within the trie yields the associated value for the given string key.

  3. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    With the availability of large amounts of DNA data, matching of nucleotide sequences has become an important application. [1] Approximate matching is also used in spam filtering. [5] Record linkage is a common application where records from two disparate databases are matched. String matching cannot be used for most binary data, such as images ...

  4. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    One can find the lengths and starting positions of the longest common substrings of and in (+) time with the help of a generalized suffix tree.A faster algorithm can be achieved in the word RAM model of computation if the size of the input alphabet is in (⁡ (+)).

  5. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A string-searching algorithm, sometimes called string-matching algorithm, is an algorithm that searches a body of text for portions that match by pattern. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet ( finite set ) Σ.

  6. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    Tree patterns are used in some programming languages as a general tool to process data based on its structure, e.g. C#, [1] F#, [2] Haskell, [3] Java [4], ML, Python, [5] Ruby, [6] Rust, [7] Scala, [8] Swift [9] and the symbolic mathematics language Mathematica have special syntax for expressing tree patterns and a language construct for ...

    In this example, we will consider a dictionary consisting of the following words: {a, ab, bab, bc, bca, c, caa}. The graph below is the Aho–Corasick data structure constructed from the specified dictionary, with each row in the table representing a node in the trie, with the column path indicating the (unique) sequence of characters from the root to the node.

  8. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    A regex pattern matches a target string. The pattern is composed of a sequence of atoms. An atom is a single point within the regex pattern which it tries to match to the target string. The simplest atom is a literal, but grouping parts of the pattern to match an atom will require using ( ) as metacharacters.

  9. Rabin–Karp algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin–Karp_algorithm

    For speed, the hash must be computed in constant time. The trick is the variable hs already contains the previous hash value of s[i..i+m-1]. If that value can be used to compute the next hash value in constant time, then computing successive hash values will be fast. The trick can be exploited using a rolling hash. A rolling hash is a hash ...
