Summary of changes made
Added a new program: string_suffix_array_lcp_search.c
Demonstrates construction of Suffix Array and LCP (Longest Common Prefix) arrays for a given string.
Includes binary-search-based pattern search using the suffix array for efficient substring matching.
Fully commented with detailed explanations — serves as a mini-tutorial for learners exploring advanced algorithms in C.
Why This Program?
This program fills the gap between basic examples (like sorting, searching, and data structures) and real-world algorithmic applications that demand C-level efficiency.
Key Features
Suffix arrays are a fundamental data structure in string processing, with applications in text indexing, genome analysis, and full-text search engines. What makes this program stand out is its:
This makes it an ideal resource for those looking to learn and apply efficient string processing techniques.
