About this Assignment

In this course, you have learned about text as a data structure, string searching algorithms, trie data structure, and methods for compressing texts. For this assignment, you will develop an application using the Java programming language.

Prompt

The application must address the following requirements:

The application uses the names of $50$ states in the United States as the input text.

It uses the bad character rule of the Boyer$-$Moore algorithm to search the pattern a user inputs via an interface.

When a user runs the application, it displays a menu and prompts the user to select an option.

The menu options are:

Display the text

Search

Exit program

When a user selects $1)$ Display the text, the application displays the content of the text $($i$.$e$.$ the names of $50$ states in the United States$).$

When a user selects $2)$ Search, the application prompts the user to input a part of the name of a state as a pattern for search. The application searches for the pattern in the text using the bad character rule of the Boyer$-$Moore algorithm. Then, the application displays the indices of the matches $($i$.$e$.$ occurrences of the pattern in the text$).$

When a user selects $3)$ Exit program, the application ends.
