Rabin Karp (hashing) String pattern matching

Problem

TC:O(n) and SC: O(n)

// using rabin karp hashing approach

class Solution {
    public String shortestPalindrome(String s) {
        int prefix = 0;
        int suffix = 0;
        int lastIndex =-1;
        int base = 29;
        int power = 1;
        int mod = (int)(1e9 + 7);
        String str = "";
        for(int i =0;i<s.length();i++){
            int ch = (s.charAt(i)-'a') +1;

            prefix = (int)((1L * prefix * base) % mod);
            prefix = (int)((prefix + ch) % mod);

            suffix = (int)((suffix + 1L * ch * power) % mod);
            power = (int)((1L * power * base) % mod);
            if(prefix == suffix){
                lastIndex =i;
            }
        }
        str = s.substring(lastIndex+1);
        return new StringBuilder(str).reverse().toString()+s;
    }

Great read:

Is it Time to go Back to the Monolith?

History repeats itself. Everything old is new again and I’ve been around long enough to see ideas discarded, rediscovered and return triumphantly to overtake the fad. In recent years SQL has made a tremendous comeback from the dead. We love relational databases all over again. I think the Monolith will have its space odyssey moment again. Microservices and serverless are trends pushed by the cloud vendors, designed to sell us more cloud computing resources.

Microservices make very little sense financially for most use cases. Yes, they can ramp down. But when they scale up, they pay the costs in dividends. The increased observability costs alone line the pockets of the “big cloud” vendors.
