C++ Program to Perform Finite State Automaton based Search

This is a C++ Program to search a string using finite automata. Given a text txt[0..n-1] and a pattern pat[0..m-1], write a function search(char pat[], char txt[]) that prints all occurrences of pat[] in txt[]. You may assume that n > m.

Here is source code of the C++ Program to Perform Finite State Automaton based Search. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

```
#include<stdio.h>
```
```
#include<string.h>
```
```
#define NO_OF_CHARS 256
```
```
 
```

int getNextState(char *pat, int M, int state, int x)

```
{
```

    // If the character c is same as next character in pattern,

```
    // then simply increment state
```
```
    if (state < M && x == pat[state])
```
```
        return state + 1;
```
```
 
```

    int ns, i; // ns stores the result which is next state

```
 
```

    // ns finally contains the longest prefix which is also suffix

```
    // in "pat[0..state-1]c"
```
```
 
```

    // Start from the largest possible value and stop when you find

```
    // a prefix which is also suffix
```
```
    for (ns = state; ns > 0; ns--)
```
```
    {
```
```
        if (pat[ns - 1] == x)
```
```
        {
```

            for (i = 0; i < ns - 1; i++)

```
            {
```

                if (pat[i] != pat[state - ns + 1 + i])

```
                    break;
```
```
            }
```
```
            if (i == ns - 1)
```
```
                return ns;
```
```
        }
```
```
    }
```
```
 
```
```
    return 0;
```
```
}
```
```
 
```

/* This function builds the TF table which represents Finite Automata for a

```
 given pattern  */
```

void computeTF(char *pat, int M, int TF[][NO_OF_CHARS])

```
{
```
```
    int state, x;
```

    for (state = 0; state <= M; ++state)

        for (x = 0; x < NO_OF_CHARS; ++x)

            TF[state][x] = getNextState(pat, M, state, x);

```
}
```
```
 
```

/* Prints all occurrences of pat in txt */

```
void search(char *pat, char *txt)
```
```
{
```
```
    int M = strlen(pat);
```
```
    int N = strlen(txt);
```
```
 
```
```
    int TF[M + 1][NO_OF_CHARS];
```
```
 
```
```
    computeTF(pat, M, TF);
```
```
 
```
```
    // Process txt over FA.
```
```
    int i, state = 0;
```
```
    for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
```
```
    {
```
```
        state = TF[state][txt[i]];
```
```
        if (state == M)
```
```
        {
```

            printf("\n pattern found at index %d", i - M + 1);

```
        }
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```
```
 
```

// Driver program to test above function

```
int main()
```
```
{
```
```
    char *txt = "AABAACAADAABAAABAA";
```
```
    char *pat = "AABA";
```
```
    search(pat, txt);
```
```
    return 0;
```
```
}
```

Output:

$ g++ StringMatchingFiniteAutomata.cpp
$ a.out
 
 pattern found at index 0
 pattern found at index 9
 pattern found at index 13
