Z Algorithm

T
//! This module provides functionalities to match patterns in strings
//! and compute the Z-array for a given input string.

/// Calculates the Z-value for a given substring of the input string
/// based on a specified pattern.
///
/// # Parameters
/// - `input_string`: A slice of elements that represents the input string.
/// - `pattern`: A slice of elements representing the pattern to match.
/// - `start_index`: The index in the input string to start checking for matches.
/// - `z_value`: The initial Z-value to be computed.
///
/// # Returns
/// The computed Z-value indicating the length of the matching prefix.

/// - `match_end`: The index of the last character matched in the pattern.
/// - `last_match`: The index of the last match found.

/// The initialized Z-array value for the current index.
