In which pattern matching algorithm is a prefix table or failure function used to optimize the search process?
- Boyer-Moore Algorithm
- Brute Force Algorithm
- Knuth-Morris-Pratt Algorithm
- Rabin-Karp Algorithm
The Knuth-Morris-Pratt Algorithm uses a prefix table or failure function to optimize the search process. This allows the algorithm to skip unnecessary comparisons by taking advantage of the information about the pattern's own structure.
