  2. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The picture shows two strings where the problem has multiple solutions. Although the substring occurrences always overlap, it is impossible to obtain a longer common substring by "uniting" them. The strings "ABABC", "BABCA" and "ABCBA" have only one longest common substring, viz. "ABC" of length 3.

  3. Longest repeated substring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_repeated_substring...

    In computer science, the longest repeated substring problem is the problem of finding the longest substring of a string that occurs at least twice. This problem can be solved in linear time and space Θ ( n ) {\displaystyle \Theta (n)} by building a suffix tree for the string (with a special end-of-string symbol like '$' appended), and finding ...

  4. Substring index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring_index

    In computer science, a substring index is a data structure which gives substring search in a text or text collection in sublinear time. Once constructed from a document or set of documents, a substring index can be used to locate all occurrences of a pattern in time linear or near-linear in the pattern size, with no dependence or only logarithmic dependence on the document size.

  5. Substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring

    string" is a substring of "substring" In formal language theory and computer science, a substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. [citation needed] For instance, "the best of" is a substring of "It was the best of times". In contrast, "Itwastimes" is a subsequence of "It was the best of times", but not a substring.

  6. Longest common subsequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence

    It differs from the longest common substring: unlike substrings, subsequences are not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences. The problem of computing longest common subsequences is a classic computer science problem, the basis of data comparison programs such as the diff utility , and has applications in ...

    rfind(string,substring) returns integer Description Returns the position of the start of the last occurrence of substring in string. If the substring is not found most of these routines return an invalid index value – -1 where indexes are 0-based, 0 where they are 1-based – or some value to be interpreted as Boolean FALSE.

  9. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack, and so forth.
