Java Program to Check if strings are rotations of each other or not | Set 2

Given two strings s1 and s2, check whether s2 is a rotation of s1. 
Examples:

Input : ABACD, CDABA
Output : True

Input : GEEKS, EKSGE
Output : True

We have discussed an approach in earlier post which handles substring match as a pattern. In this post, we will be going to use KMP algorithm’s lps (longest proper prefix which is also suffix) construction, which will help in finding the longest match of the prefix of string b and suffix of string a. By which we will know the rotating point, from this point match the characters. If all the characters are matched, then it is a rotation, else not.
Below is the basic implementation of the above approach. 

Java

// Java program to check if two strings are rotations
// of each other.
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
class stringMatching {
    public static boolean isRotation(String a, String b)
    {
        int n = a.length();
        int m = b.length();
        if (n != m)
            return false;

        // create lps[] that will hold the longest
        // prefix suffix values for pattern
        int lps[] = new int[n];

        // length of the previous longest prefix suffix
        int len = 0;
        int i = 1;
        lps[0] = 0; // lps[0] is always 0

        // the loop calculates lps[i] for i = 1 to n-1
        while (i < n) {
            if (a.charAt(i) == b.charAt(len)) {
                lps[i] = ++len;
                ++i;
            }
            else {
                if (len == 0) {
                    lps[i] = 0;
                    ++i;
                }
                else {
                    len = lps[len - 1];
                }
            }
        }

        i = 0;

        // match from that rotating point
        for (int k = lps[n - 1]; k < m; ++k) {
            if (b.charAt(k) != a.charAt(i++))
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String s1 = "ABACD";
        String s2 = "CDABA";

        System.out.println(isRotation(s1, s2) ? "1" : "0");
    }
}

Output:

1

Time Complexity: O(n) 
Auxiliary Space: O(n)
