Boyer Moore Algorithm for Pattern Searching

You are given a string text and a string pattern. Your task is to find all occurrences of pattern in the string text and return an array of indexes of all those occurrences. Assume that the length of text is always greater than the length of pattern.

Example:

Input:
text = "this is a good place to have a good start"
pattern = "good"
Output:
[10, 31]
Explanation:

The pattern "good" is found at index 10 and 31 in the text.

Constraints:

  • 1 ≤ T ≤ 5
  • 1 ≤ M < 100
  • 1 ≤ N < M, where N is the length of the pattern and M is the length of the text.
  • Time Limit: 1 sec
Note:

If no occurrence of the pattern is found in the text, return an array containing -1.
