Hi, everyone, I wonder is there an algorithm to determine a string is looping. For example,
s = 'aabcacbdbdbdacbdbdbdacbdbdbdacbdbdbdac....' Obviously, s is looping with the substring 'acbdbdbd'. It is easy to see s is looping if we know the substring, but I have no idea about if we do no know the substring. The information we have is s is looping with a substring, whose length is greater than a specific value, e.g., the value is 3 for the example. Another thing is that, we don't know when s starts to loop, so is it able to have an efficient condition of the length of s we need to determine the looping of s. Thanks.
