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:
“First you find a little thread, a little thread leads you to a string, and the string leads you to a rope. And from the rope you hang by the ... neck.”
