# String Algorithm Matcher Skill

## Purpose

Match string processing problems to the most appropriate algorithms based on requirements and constraints.

## Capabilities

- Pattern matching algorithm selection (KMP, Z, Rabin-Karp)
- Suffix structure selection (array vs tree vs automaton)
- Palindrome detection algorithm selection
- Rolling hash implementation guidance
- String DP technique matching

## Target Processes

- pattern-matching-algorithms
- trie-suffix-structures
- string-processing

## Algorithm Selection Guide

### Single Pattern Matching
| Scenario | Algorithm | Complexity |
|----------|-----------|------------|
| Single pattern | KMP | O(n+m) |
| Multiple patterns | Aho-Corasick | O(n+m+z) |
| Approximate match | Rolling Hash | O(n*m) average |

### Suffix Structures
| Need | Structure | Build Time |
|------|-----------|------------|
| Substring search | Suffix Array | O(n log n) |
| Multiple queries | Suffix Tree | O(n) |
| Subsequence counting | Suffix Automaton | O(n) |

### Palindromes
| Problem | Algorithm |
|---------|-----------|
| Longest palindromic substring | Manacher |
| Palindrome partitioning | DP + Manacher |
| Palindrome queries | Hashing |
