The prefix table tells where to resume after a mismatch. // // METHOD // Build the longest proper prefix/suffix table for the pattern. During matching, fall back // through that table without moving the text position backward. A full matched prefix gives // the first occurrence. // // COMPLEXITY // O(n+m) time and O(m) auxiliary space. // // CONTRACT // Inputs are integer token sequences. Empty pattern matches at 0. Returns first matching // index or -1. KMP does not define Unicode tokenization. // Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex // counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers. // Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are // preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity. // Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to // prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000 // workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python // uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be // partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory // implementations. // // LANGUAGE DETAILS // Node.js 18+: Int32Array inputs and workspaces provide compact integer storage. Automatic // lengths and checked arithmetic reject values outside signed 32-bit. Invalid inputs or // overflow throw RangeError. // // EXAMPLE // Expected return: 2. // Run: node example.js // Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source // archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. function alg_require(valid) { if (!valid) throw new RangeError("invalid algorithm input"); } function alg_checked(v) { if (!Number.isInteger(v) || v < -2147483648 || v > 2147483647) throw new RangeError("32-bit result overflow"); return v; } function alg_add(a,b) { return alg_checked(a+b); } function alg_sub(a,b) { return alg_checked(a-b); } function alg_mul(a,b) { return alg_checked(a*b); } function alg_size(n) { alg_require(Number.isInteger(n) && n>=0 && n<=4000000); return n; } function kmp_match(text, pattern) { alg_require(text instanceof Int32Array); alg_require(pattern instanceof Int32Array); let n = text.length; let m = pattern.length; alg_require(((n >= 0) && (n <= 1000000))); alg_require(((m >= 0) && (m <= 1000000))); alg_require((pattern.length == m)); alg_require((text.length == n)); if ((m == 0)) { return 0; } let prefix = new Int32Array(alg_size(alg_add(m, 1))); let i = 1; let j = 0; while ((i < m)) { while (((j > 0) && (pattern[i] != pattern[j]))) { j = prefix[alg_sub(j, 1)]; } if ((pattern[i] == pattern[j])) { j = alg_add(j, 1); } prefix[i] = j; i = alg_add(i, 1); } i = 0; j = 0; while ((i < n)) { while (((j > 0) && (text[i] != pattern[j]))) { j = prefix[alg_sub(j, 1)]; } if ((text[i] == pattern[j])) { j = alg_add(j, 1); } if ((j == m)) { return alg_add(alg_sub(i, m), 1); } i = alg_add(i, 1); } return alg_sub(0, 1); } let text = new Int32Array([1, 2, 1, 2, 3]); let pattern = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3]); let result = kmp_match(text, pattern); console.log(result); |
