The Boyer-Moore algorithm, developed by Robert S. Boyer and J. Strother Moore in 1977, is a text pattern searching technique that compares the pattern against text from right to left. Upon encountering a mismatch, it shifts the pattern to align with a previously matched good suffix or skips to the next potential position based on bad character rules. The pseudocode for the algorithm outlines how the pattern and text indices are manipulated to efficiently find substring matches.
![Boyer-Moore algorithm Pseudocode
Input: String T (text with n characters and P (pattern) with m characters
Output: Index of the first substring of Text matching Pattern.
i <-- m - 1
j <-- m - 1
repeat
if P[j] = T[i] then
if j = 0 then
return i {a match is found}
else {checking the next character}
i <-- i - 1
j <-- j - 1
else { P[j] <> T[i] move the pattern}
i <-- i + m - j - 1
i <-- i + max(j - last(T[i]), match(j))
j <-- m-1
until i > n - 1
return “ no match”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/boyremoorealgorithm-170127123557/85/Boyre-Moore-Algorithm-Computer-Science-6-320.jpg)

- 1. This algorithm was defined by Robert S. Boyer and J Strother Moore in 1977.
- 2. TEXT PATTERN Comparing from right to left Shifting from left to right Comparison of the pattern against the text begins from right and proceed towards left. If there is a mismatch, then the function shifts towards right.

Pattern match with the text pattern and align with the text in new location. But shifting must be done such that shift takes place to the new position with same character as current good suffix as it already found that the preceding character of pattern is a mismatch with the preceding character in the text. 9
