@@ -5,11 +5,42 @@ is a string searching algorithm created by Richard M. Karp and
 Michael O. Rabin (1987) that uses hashing to find any one of a set 
 of pattern strings in a text. 
 
+## Algorithm
+
+The Rabin–Karp algorithm seeks to speed up the testing of equality of 
+the pattern to the substrings in the text by using a hash function. A 
+hash function is a function which converts every string into a numeric 
+value, called its hash value; for example, we might 
+have `hash('hello') = 5`. The algorithm exploits the fact 
+that if two strings are equal, their hash values are also equal. Thus,
+string matching is reduced (almost) to computing the hash value of the
+search pattern and then looking for substrings of the input string with
+that hash value.
+
+However, there are two problems with this approach. First, because there
+are so many different strings and so few hash values, some differing
+strings will have the same hash value. If the hash values match, the
+pattern and the substring may not match; consequently, the potential
+match of search pattern and the substring must be confirmed by comparing
+them; that comparison can take a long time for long substrings.
+Luckily, a good hash function on reasonable strings usually does not
+have many collisions, so the expected search time will be acceptable.
+
+## Hash Function Used
+
+The key to the Rabin–Karp algorithm's performance is the efficient computation 
+of hash values of the successive substrings of the text.
+The **Rabin fingerprint** is a popular and effective rolling hash function.
+
+The **polynomial hash function** described in this example is not a Rabin 
+fingerprint, but it works equally well. It treats every substring as a 
+number in some base, the base being usually a large prime.

 ## Complexity
 
-For text of length `n` and `p` patterns 
-of combined length `m`, its average and best case running time is 
-`O(n + m)` in space `O(p)`, but its worst-case time is `O(n * m)`. 
+For text of length `n` and `p` patterns of combined length `m`, its average 
+and best case running time is `O(n + m)` in space `O(p)`, but its 
+worst-case time is `O(n * m)`.
