String Processing Algorithms
There are many algorithms for processing strings, each with various trade-offs. Some categories of algorithms include:
- String searching algorithms for finding a given substring or pattern
- String manipulation algorithms
- Sorting algorithms
- Regular expression algorithms
- Parsing a string
- Sequence mining
Advanced string algorithms often employ complex mechanisms and data structures, among them suffix trees and finite state machines.

Famous quotes containing the word string:
“As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
