Rolling Hash algorithm I would like any ideas or suggestions on how to enhance the code for rolling hash algorithm and make if faster. Even if it is a change in one line. I tried to add a list, because I thought it would be more efficient, but it didn't work properly. So any ideas on how to enhance it. I would appreciate the assist.

import time


class RollingHash:
def __init__(self, text, sizeWord):
    self.text = text
    self.hash = 0
    self.sizeWord = sizeWord

    for i in range(0, sizeWord):
        # ord maps the character to a number
        # subtract out the ASCII value of "a" to start the indexing at zero
        self.hash += (ord(self.text[i]) - ord("a") + 1) * (26 ** (sizeWord - i - 1))  # change the first / with *

    # start index of current window
    self.window_start = 0
    # end of index window
    self.window_end = sizeWord

def move_window(self):
    if self.window_end &lt;= len(self.text) - 1:
        # remove left letter from hash value
        self.hash -= (ord(self.text[self.window_start]) - ord("a") + 1) * 26 ** (self.sizeWord - 1)
        self.hash *= 26
        self.hash += ord(self.text[self.window_end]) - ord("a") + 1
        self.window_start += 1
        self.window_end += 1

def window_text(self):
    return self.text[self.window_start:self.window_end]


def rabin_karp(word, text):
if word == "" or text == "":
    return None
if len(word) &gt; len(text):
    return None

rolling_hash = RollingHash(text, len(word))
word_hash = RollingHash(word, len(word))
# word_hash.move_window()

for i in range(len(text) - len(word) + 1):
    if rolling_hash.hash == word_hash.hash:
        if rolling_hash.window_text() == word:
            print(i)
    rolling_hash.move_window()
return  'Pattern length: ' , len(word)



text = input("Text: ")
word = input("Pattern: ")
t1 = time.clock()
results = rabin_karp(word, text)
print(results)
t2 = time.clock()
print('Run Time:  %0.5f ms' % ((t2 - t1) * 1000.0))
You can do as a decent compiler would: precompute some expressions, and reduce the "strength" of others.
For worse rather than better, most opportunities for this are in the constructor.
Part of the performance of on object depends on its interface - I've included an alternative function that finds the (position of the) next match, if any.
Benchmarking is difficult, micro or not: beware "printing" and use help.
