Boyer-Moore Algorithm

The Boyer-Moore Algorithm


• Robert Boyer and J Strother Moore established it in 1977. The B-M
String search algorithm is a particularly efficient algorithm and has
served as a standard benchmark for string search algorithm ever
since.
• The B-M algorithm takes a 'backward' approach: the pattern string (P)
is aligned with the start of the text string (T), and then compares the
characters of a pattern from right to left, beginning with rightmost
character.
• If a character is compared that is not within the pattern, no match can
be found by analyzing any further aspects at this position so the
pattern can be changed entirely past the mismatching character.
• For deciding the possible shifts, B-M algorithm uses two
preprocessing strategies simultaneously. Whenever a mismatch
occurs, the algorithm calculates a variation using both approaches
and selects the more significant shift thus, if make use of the most
effective strategy for each case.
