+"""
+This algorithm tries to find the pattern in given text using Bad Character Heuristic method. 
+The bad-character rule considers the character in Text at which there is a mis-match. The next occurrence of that character to the left in Pattern is found, and a shift which brings that occurrence in line with the mismatched occurrence in Text is proposed. If the mismatched character does not occur to the left in Pattern, a shift is proposed that moves the entirety of Pattern past the point of mismatch

+Complexity : O(n/m)
