This algorithm was defined by Robert S. Boyer and J
Strother Moore in 1977.
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.

MISMATCH
(BAD CHARACTER)
INITIATING POINT
 Whenever there is a mismatch between the text and the pattern, the character of the
text string that does not match with the present character of pattern string is known
as Bad Character.

 If a good suffix is found in pattern.
 Shift the pattern.
 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.

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”
