suffixtömbök

Suffixtömbök is a term of Hungarian origin that can be translated as "suffix trees" or "suffix arrays." These are data structures used in computer science, particularly in string processing and bioinformatics. A suffix tree for a string is a compressed trie that stores all the suffixes of that string. Each leaf node in the tree represents a suffix, and the path from the root to a leaf spells out that suffix. This structure allows for efficient searching of patterns within a text.

A related concept is the suffix array. A suffix array is a sorted array of all suffixes of a given string. While a suffix tree can be more complex to construct and store, a suffix array is generally more space-efficient. Both data structures are powerful tools for tasks such as finding the longest common substring between two strings, pattern matching, and sequence alignment. Their applications are widespread, including text editors, search engines, and DNA sequence analysis. The efficient construction algorithms for both suffix trees and suffix arrays have been a significant area of research in theoretical computer science.
