In the brute force pattern matching algorithm when all the characters in the pattern are unique then brute force can be implemented in Big-oh(n) complexity where n is the length of the string (reference: introduction to algorithms). can anyone help me with the algorithm? Thanks in advance

Jump to PostWalk over the source once. Keep a reference to the first match and as long as the source matches the pattern, walk over the pattern too. If the pattern reaches the end of the string, you have a complete match. Otherwise, reset the pattern and start over.
