Valid Anagram in Python


Anagrams are basically all permutations of a given string or pattern. This pattern searching algorithm is slightly different. In this case, not only the exact pattern is searched, it searches all possible arrangements of the given pattern in the text. So if the inputs are “ANAGRAM” and “NAAGARM”, then they are anagram, but “cat” and “fat” are not an anagram

To solve this, we will convert the string into a list of characters, then sort them, if two sorted lists are same then they are anagram.

Example (Python)

Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −

 Live Demo

class Solution(object):
   def isAnagram(self, s, t):
      """
      :type s: str
      :type t: str
      :rtype: bool
      """
      return "".join(sorted(s)) == "".join(sorted(t))
ob1 = Solution()
print(ob1.isAnagram("ANAGRAM","NAAGARM"))

Input

s = "ANAGRAM"
t = "NAAGARM"

Output

true
