String Operations

Document processing is rapidly becoming one of the dominant functions of computers. Computers are used to edit documents, to search documents, to transport documents over the Internet, and to display documents on printers and computer screens. For example, the Internet document formats HTML and XML are primarily text formats, with added tags for multimedia content. Making sense of the many terabytes of information on the Internet requires a considerable amount of text processing.

In addition to having interesting applications, text processing algorithms also highlight some important algorithmic design patterns. In particular, the pattern matching problem gives rise to the brute-force method, which is often inefficient but has wide applicability. For text compression, we can apply the greedy method, which ...
