Question

Given two strings s and t, return true if t is an anagram of s, and false otherwise.

An Anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.

Example 1:

Input: s = "anagram", t = "nagaram"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: s = "rat", t = "car"
Output: false

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length, t.length <= 5 * 104
  • s and t consist of lowercase English letters.

Follow up: What if the inputs contain Unicode characters? How would you adapt your solution to such a case?

Python Solution

class Solution:
    def isAnagram(self, s: str, t: str) -> bool:
        c = {}

        for i in s:
            if i not in c:
                c[i]=1
            else:
                c[i]+=1

        for i in t:
            if i not in c:
                return( False)
            else:
                c[i]-=1
                if c[i]<0:
                    return( False)

        for v in c.values():
            if v!=0:
                return(False)

        return (True)
