Algorithms 1. Brute-Force Algorithm: Introduction: Brute force is a straightforward approach to solve a problem based on the problem’s statement and definitions of the concepts involved. It is considered as one of the easiest approach to apply and is useful for solving small - size instances of a problem. In computer science, brute-force search or exhaustive search, also known as generate and test, is a very general problem-solving technique that consists of systematically enumerating all possible candidates for the solution and checking whether each candidate satisfies the problem's statement. A brute force algorithm has two inputs to be considered: pattern (a string of m characters to search for), and text (a long string of n characters …show more content…

• Bubble sort: (n-1)n/2 - O(n2) comparisons 2. Knuth Morris Pratt Algorithm Introduction: Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm is one of the most popular effective string matching algorithms. It compares the pattern string to the text in left to right direction as compared to Boyer Moore Algorithm. The algorithm shifts the pattern more intelligently than the brute-force algorithm. The KMP algorithm pre-processes the pattern string to find matches of the prefixes of the pattern with the pattern itself. The information thus calculated is used to shift the pattern appropriately whenever a mismatch occurs or a comparison fails. The computation is performed by the function called KMP prefix function The main different between Knuth Morris Pratt Algorithm And Brute Force algorithm is BFA is always shift the pattern by 1 when it is mismatch while in KMP it shift by i which is compute it in the table. Pseudo code: KMP algorithm can be achieved by computing 2 sub algorithms: 1. the prefix function, Π The prefix function Π for a pattern encapsulates knowledge about how the pattern matches against shifts of itself. This information can be used to avoid useless shifts of the pattern ‘p’. In other words, this enables avoiding backtracking on the string
