What are some of the string matching algorithms in Python?

There are several types of string matching algorithms in Python.

1. The Brute Force algorithm compares each character individually, with a time complexity of O(n*m), where n and m are the lengths of the strings.
2. The KMP algorithm (Knuth-Morris-Pratt) achieves a time complexity of O(n+m) by creating a partial match table to efficiently skip over previously matched portions during the matching process.
3. Boyer-Moore algorithm: By preprocessing the pattern string and utilizing the bad character rule and good suffix rule, it skips as many characters during the matching process as possible, resulting in a time complexity of O(n/m).
4. The Rabin-Karp algorithm utilizes a hash function to calculate hashes of the pattern string and the main string, and then compares the hashes one by one, with a time complexity of O(n+m).
5. The Aho-Corasick algorithm is a multiple pattern matching algorithm that can simultaneously match multiple patterns in a main string, with a time complexity of O(n+k+m), where n is the length of the main string, k is the total length of the patterns, and m is the number of successful matches.
6. The Boyer-Moore-Horspool algorithm is a simplified version of the Boyer-Moore algorithm, which only uses the bad character rule and has a time complexity of O(n/m).
7. Sunday algorithm: By preprocessing the pattern string and using the bad character rule and good suffix rule, the time complexity is O(n/m).

The performance of these algorithms varies in different scenarios, choosing the appropriate algorithm depends on specific needs and the scale of data.
