How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18567491 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Bootstring algorithm Context triple: [Punycode, basedOn, Bootstring algorithm]
-
A.
Rabin–Karp algorithm
The Rabin–Karp algorithm is a string-searching technique that uses hashing to efficiently find any one of a set of pattern strings in a text.
-
B.
Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm
The Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm is a classic linear-time string-searching algorithm that efficiently finds occurrences of a pattern within a text by precomputing a prefix function to avoid redundant comparisons.
-
C.
Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm
The Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm is a highly efficient pattern-matching algorithm that scans text from right to left and uses precomputed shift rules to skip sections of the text, making it one of the fastest practical algorithms for substring search.
-
D.
Aho–Corasick algorithm
The Aho–Corasick algorithm is a classic string-searching algorithm that efficiently finds all occurrences of multiple patterns in a text using a trie-based finite-state machine.
-
E.
Thompson's algorithm
Thompson's algorithm is a classic computer science method for converting regular expressions into nondeterministic finite automata (NFAs), widely used in pattern matching and lexical analysis.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
