Implementing-GREP-using-Naive-Search- What is grep? Grep is a command-line utility for searching plain-text data sets for lines that match a regular expression or simply a string. E.g. Part b: My Grep Algorithm = 248ms My Naïve Algorithm = 366ms Reasoning: My grep algorithm performed 32.2% better than the naïve algorithm. My grep algorithm is more efficient and faster than naïve. Naïve only takes one position movement at each time making it inefficient. In my grep algorithm, it does not match characters that we already know will match. When naïve finds a position, it does not use it to find another, instead it goes back to the starting point and looks for pattern all over again. The grep algorithm reuses the information from the previous shift rather than disregarding it. All the files have been commented for your ease.
