**Task: Visualization Program for Brute-Force String-Matching Algorithm**

**Objective:**
Develop a visualization program, which can be text-based, to demonstrate the brute-force string-matching algorithm.

**Overview:**
The goal of this task is to create an educational tool that helps learners understand how the brute-force string-matching algorithm operates. The visualization does not need to be graphical; a text-based approach is sufficient.

**Key Aspects to Consider:**
- **Input Strings:** Clearly display the text and pattern strings.
- **Comparison Process:** Illustrate how each character in the pattern is compared sequentially with characters in the text.
- **Iteration Steps:** Show each step of the iteration through the text.
- **Matching Indication:** Highlight where matches occur in the text.

**Implementation Guide:**
1. **Initialize Inputs:**
   - Begin with defining the text and the pattern to be matched.
   
2. **Visualization Layout:**
   - Line up the pattern against the text, indicating the starting index.
   
3. **Matching Process:**
   - Simulate the comparison of each character.
   - If a mismatch occurs, move to the next position in the text.
   - If a match is found, indicate the matched location.

4. **Output:**
   - Provide a final summary of all matching positions.
   - Optionally, display the number of comparisons made.

**Purpose:**
This program facilitates a deeper understanding of the brute-force algorithm's working by breaking down each operational step in a clear and approachable manner, which can aid students and educators alike.

This content can be used as part of an educational module on algorithm demonstrations and is suitable for computer science or programming courses focusing on string manipulation and pattern matching techniques.
