First, create a suffix tree for s For example, if your word were bibs, you would create the following
tree:
S
B
I
B
Then, all you need to do is search for each string in T in the suffix tree Note that if “B” were a
word, you would come up with two locations
1 public class SuffixTree {
2 SuffixTreeNode root = new SuffixTreeNode();
3 public SuffixTree(String s) {
4 for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
5 String suffix = s.substring(i);
6 root.insertString(suffix, i);
7 }
8 }
9
10 public ArrayList getIndexes(String s) {
11 return root.getIndexes(s);
12 }
13 }
14
15 public class SuffixTreeNode {
16 HashMap children = new
17 HashMap();
18 char value;
19 ArrayList indexes = new ArrayList();
I
S B
S
S
