Rabin-Karp Algorithm

Rabin-Karp is another pattern searching algorithm to find the pattern in a more efficient way. It also checks the pattern by moving window one by one, but without checking all characters for all cases, it finds the hash value. When the hash value is matched, then only it tries to check each character. This procedure makes the algorithm more efficient.
The time complexity is O(m+n), but for the worst case, it is O(mn).
Input:
Main String: “ABAAABCDBBABCDDEBCABC”, Pattern “ABC”
Output:
Pattern found at position: 4
Pattern found at position: 10
Pattern found at position: 18
rabinKarpSearch(text, pattern, prime)
Input − The main text and the pattern. Another prime number of find hash location
Output − location where patterns are found

               break the loop
         done

         if charIndex = patLen, then
            print the location i as pattern found at i position.
      if i < (strLen - patLen), then
