  • Q2. KMP Search Algorithm
  • Ans. 

    KMP Search Algorithm is a string searching algorithm that finds occurrences of a word within a main text.

    • KMP algorithm is based on the idea of pre-processing the pattern to avoid unnecessary comparisons.

    • It uses a prefix function to determine the longest proper prefix of the pattern that is also a suffix.

    • This allows the algorithm to skip characters in the text that cannot be part of the pattern, improving efficiency.
