Sum of similarities of string with all of its suffixes

Given a string str, the task is to find the sum of the similarities of str with each of its suffixes. 
The similarity of strings A and B is the length of the longest prefix common to both the strings i.e. the similarity of “aabc” and “aab” is 3 and that of “qwer” and “abc” is 0.

Examples:

Input: str = “ababa” 
Output: 9 
The suffixes of str are “ababa”, “baba”, “aba”, “ba” and “a”. The similarities of these strings with the original string “ababa” are 5, 0, 3, 0 & 1 respectively. 
Thus, the answer is 5 + 0 + 3 + 0 + 1 = 9.

Input: str = “aaabaab” 
Output: 13 

Approach: Compute Z-array using Z-algorithm – For a string str[0..n-1], Z array is of same length as string. An element Z[i] of Z array stores length of the longest substring starting from str[i] which is also a prefix of str[0..n-1]. The first entry of Z array is the length of the string. 

Now, sum all the elements of the Z-array to get the required sum of the similarities.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

// Function to calculate the Z-array for the given string
void getZarr(string str, int n, int Z[])
{
    int L, R, k;

    // [L, R] make a window which matches with prefix of s
    L = R = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i) {

        // if i>R nothing matches so we will calculate.
        // Z[i] using naive way.
        if (i > R) {
            L = R = i;

            // R-L = 0 in starting, so it will start
            // checking from 0'th index. For example,
            // for "ababab" and i = 1, the value of R
            // remains 0 and Z[i] becomes 0. For string
            // "aaaaaa" and i = 1, Z[i] and R become 5
            while (R < n && str[R - L] == str[R])
                R++;
            Z[i] = R - L;
            R--;
        }
        else {

            // k = i-L so k corresponds to number which
            // matches in [L, R] interval.
            k = i - L;

            // if Z[k] is less than remaining interval
            // then Z[i] will be equal to Z[k].
            // For example, str = "ababab", i = 3, R = 5
            // and L = 2
            if (Z[k] < R - i + 1)
                Z[i] = Z[k];

            // For example str = "aaaaaa" and i = 2, R is 5,
            // L is 0
            else {
                // else start from R and check manually
                L = i;
                while (R < n && str[R - L] == str[R])
                    R++;
                Z[i] = R - L;
                R--;
            }
        }
    }
}

// Function to return the similarity sum
int sumSimilarities(string s, int n)
{
    int Z[n] = { 0 };

    // Compute the Z-array for the given string
    getZarr(s, n, Z);

    int total = n;

    // Summation of the Z-values
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        total += Z[i];
