String Algorithms
String algorithms deal with problems involving strings and text manipulation, including pattern matching, finding the Longest Palindromic Substring, and working with regular expressions.
String Manipulation and Pattern Matching
String Manipulation and Pattern Matching involve operations on strings, such as searching for specific patterns, replacing substrings, and extracting information from strings. This includes techniques like searching for a substring within a larger string and finding occurrences of a specific pattern or regular expression.
Longest Palindromic Substring
The Longest Palindromic Substring is the longest contiguous substring within a given string that is also a palindrome. A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards and backward. Finding the Longest Palindromic Substring is a common string manipulation problem with applications in text processing and data analysis.
Regular Expressions
Regular Expressions (regex or regexp) are powerful tools for pattern matching and string manipulation. They provide a concise and flexible way to specify patterns in text. Regular expressions can be used to search, match, and manipulate strings based on user-defined patterns. They are widely used in text processing, data validation, and search operations.
