Summary

Description
English: Example of the Longest common substring problem that has two different solutions: the strings "BADANAT" and "CANADAS" share the maximal-length substrings "ADA" and "ANA". Note that the substring occurrences overlap; yet no longer common substring can be obtained by 'uniting' them.
