# File: FindDuplicate.py
# Author: Keith Schwarz ([email protected])
#
# An algorithm for solving the following (classic) hard interview problem:
#
# "You are given an array of integers of length n, where each element ranges
#  from 0 to n - 2, inclusive.  Prove that at least one  duplicate element must
#  exist, and give an O(n)-time, O(1)-space algorithm for finding some
#  duplicated element.  You must not modify the array elements during this 
#  process."

# File: MatrixFind.py
# Author: Keith Schwarz ([email protected])
#
# An algorithm for finding a specific value in a specially-formatted matrix of
# values.
#
# The algorithm takes as input a matrix of values where each row and each
# column are in sorted order, along with a value to locate in that array, then
# returns whether that element exists in the matrix.  For example, given the
# matrix

# File: KnuthMorrisPratt.py
# Author: Keith Schwarz ([email protected])
#
# An implementation of the Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) string-matching algorithm.
# This algorithm takes as input a pattern string P and target string T, then
# finds the first occurrence of the string T in the pattern P, doing so in time
# O(|P| + |T|).  The logic behind the algorithm is not particularly complex,
# though getting it to run in linear time requires a few non-obvious tricks.
#
# To motivate KMP, consider the naive algorithm for trying to match a pattern
