SHOBHIT-Advance String Search Algorithm



In Computer Science, SHOBHIT-Advance String Search Algorithm is a string searching algorithm created by SHOBHIT UPADHYAYA in 2013. He is working as a Software Developer in Bangalore India.

“This algorithm uses the first and last index of the substring for a pattern search.”


PESUDOCODE OF ALGORITHM:

Shobhit_Advance_String_Search( str1 , length_of_str1, str2 , length_of_str2 )
{
      i =  0;
      j =  0;
      k = length_of_str2 -1
      last = length_of_str2 -1;
      index = -1
     
      if length_of_str2 is greater than length_of_str1
            return index

      for(  ; k is less than length_of_str1 ; increment i by one )
      {
           if str2[ j ] equals to str1[ i ] and str2[ last ] equals to str1[ k ]
           then
                   if index equals to -1
                         set index to i

                   if j equals to last or j + 1 equals to last
                   then
                            do break; // pattern found
                    else
                           increment j by one
                           decrement last by one
                            decrement k by one
         else
                 set index to -1
                 set j to zero
                 set last to length_of_str2 -1              
                 set k to i + last

                 if str2[ j ] equals to str1[ i ] and str2[last] equals to str1[k]
                 then
                            if index equals to -1
                                    set index to i

                            if j equals to last or j + 1 equals to last
                           then
                                    do break; // pattern found
                           else
                                    increment j by one
                                   decrement last by one
                                   decrement k by one
                 else
                          increment k by one
      }
      return index
}

TIME and SPACE Complexity:

For a text of length n and substring of length m.

Its best case, time complexity is O(m/2) and in worst case, time complexity is O(n – (m/2) ).

In all the cases best, average and worst its space complexity is O(1).
This algorithm checks two characters at a time.
In best case where the substring is at the start of the text, we can check all the character of substring in only m/2 time.
In worst case where the substring is at the last of the text, we need to iterate till n – m

Other Good String Search ALGORITHM:-

1)     Knuth-Morris-Pratt Algorithm
The running time of Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm is proportional to the time needed to read the characters in text and pattern. In other words, the worst-case running time of the algorithm is O(m + n) and it requires O(m) extra space. It is important to note that these quantities are independent of the size of the underlying alphabet.

2)     Rabin-Karp Algorithm
 For text of length n and p patterns of combined length m, its average and best case running time is O(n+m) in space O(p), but its worst-case time is O(nm)

3)     Boyer-Moore String search  Algorithm
Worst Case runtime when pattern occur in the text is O(nm)
Worst Case runtime when pattern does not occur in the text is O(n+m)

4)     Aho-Corasick string matching algorithm
 Aho–Corasick string matching algorithm has asymptotic worst-time complexity O(n+m) in space O(m).
