Shortest period of a string
Difference between en2 and en3, changed 15 character(s)
Hello guys,↵

Is there any way to find the shortest period of a string using Z algorithm. I know of one using KMP. ↵

EDIT:↵

Sorry for stating the question wrongly.↵

I was solving [this](http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/825/problem/F). So the point where i got struck was: given a string, find shortest period for each prefix. Can this be solved by Z-algorithm
 in linear time? And also is there a way to transform Z array to LPS array and vice-versa? ↵


Thanks in advance,↵

Shivram↵
