Boyer Moore Search

T
p
"""
The algorithm finds the pattern in given text using following rule.

The bad-character rule considers the mismatched character in Text.
The next occurrence of that character to the left in Pattern is found,

If the mismatched character occurs to the left in Pattern,
a shift is proposed that aligns text block and pattern.

If the mismatched character does not occur to the left in Pattern,
a shift is proposed that moves the entirety of Pattern past
the point of mismatch in the text.

If there no mismatch then the pattern matches with text block.

Time Complexity : O(n/m)

    m=length of pattern string
