Hey, I have a question regarding Kmp. lets say I have a string s1 and a string s2. I want to know if s2 is in s1 or not. for this goal, can I add the second string s2 to the beginning of s1 and run preKmp algorithm , the code would look something like this :
int n=toBeFound.size()+s.size(); //s is string in which toBeFound will be searched
int i = 0 ;
int j= -1;
s=toBeFound+s;
int best =0;
F[0]=-1;
while (i < n) {
while ( j>=0 && s[i] != s[j]) j = F[j];
i++;
j++;
F[i] = j;
if(j==toBeFound.size()){
cout<<i-j-j<<endl; //starting index
cout<<s.substr(i-j,j); //the found word
break;
}
}
Edit: there should be some more conditions while checking the found string.
