Operation Steps

How to Use

  1. Build Tree: Enter a string and click "Build Tree"
  2. Sample String: Click Sample String to generate example tree.
  3. Search: Enter pattern to search in the string
  4. Find Suffix: Find specific suffix in the tree

Suffix Tree Concept

Suffix Tree is a compressed trie containing all suffixes of a given string.

Key Characteristics:

  • Each path from root to leaf represents a suffix
  • Edge labels are substrings of the original string
  • Enables fast pattern matching and string operations
  • Space-efficient representation of all suffixes

Applications

  • Pattern matching in strings
  • Finding longest common substring
  • DNA sequence analysis
  • Text compression algorithms
  • Suffix array construction

Strengths

  • Linear construction time
  • Fast pattern matching
  • Supports multiple string operations
  • Space-efficient for large texts

Limitations

  • Complex implementation
  • High memory overhead for small strings
  • Not suitable for dynamic strings
