What is a time complexity for finding the longest prefix that is common between suffix in a string?
(a) Ɵ (n)
(b) Ɵ (n!)
(c) Ɵ (1)
(d) O (log n!)
This question is from Suffix tree in division Trie of Data Structures & Algorithms I
This question was posed to me in an interview.

Right option is (c) Ɵ (1)
The best explanation: Suffix Tree allows fast string operation. To check if a substring is present in a string of a length of n, the time complexity for such operation is found to be O (n). The time complexity for finding the longest prefix that is common between suffix in a string is Ɵ (1).
