Let’s look at how to calculate the Boyer Moore bad character table with an example. Boyer Moore is a string matching algorithm. So what it basically does is, finding the occurrence of a pattern within a text. There are many string matching algorithms including, Naive String Matching Algorithm KMP (Knuth-Morris-Pratt) Algorithm Rabin Carp Algorithm Boyer Moore Algorithm Boyer Moore Horsepool Algorithm In this article, we are focusing on the 2 Boyer Moore Algorithms. Assuming you already have enough background knowledge about how to use the bad character table, I will describe how to calculate the crucial part in these algorithms, the bad character table because when I learned this, there were not enough resources on the internet on how to calculate them. First Let’s look at the Boyer Moore Algorithm . You are given two strings. One is the pattern and the other one is the text. You have to find the pattern within the text. Let’s look at an example, Text => “ THIS IS A TEST ” Patt...
