Java Exercises: Check if two given strings are anagrams or not
Java Basic: Exercise-142 with Solution
Write a Java program to check if two given strings are anagrams or not.
According to wikipedia "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. For example, the word anagram can be rearranged into nag a ram, or the word binary into brainy."
Pictorial Presentation:
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
public class Solution {
/**
* @param s: The first string
* @param b: The second string
* @return true or false
*/
public static boolean anagram_test(String str1, String str2) {
if (str1 == null || str2 == null) {
return false;
} else if (str1.length() != str2.length()) {
return false;
} else if (str1.length() == 0 && str2.length() == 0) {
return true;
}
int[] count = new int[256];
for (int i = 0; i < str1.length(); i++) {
count[str1.charAt(i)]++;
count[str2.charAt(i)]--;
}
for (int num : count) {
if (num != 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str1 = "wxyz";
String str2 = "zyxw";
System.out.println("String-1 : "+str1);
System.out.println("String-2 : "+str2);
System.out.println("Check if two given strings are anagrams or not?: "+anagram_test(str1,str2));
}
}
Sample Output:
String-1 : wxyz String-2 : zyxw Check if two given strings are anagrams or not?: true

How to sort an ArrayList?
Collections.sort(testList); Collections.reverse(testList);
That will do what you want. Remember to import Collections though!
