Python Challenges: Check if a given string is an anagram of another given string
Python Challenges - 1: Exercise-26 with Solution
Write a Python program to check if a given string is an anagram of another given string.
According to Wikipedia an anagram is direct word switch or word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once; for example, the word anagram can be rearranged into nag-a-ram.
Explanation:
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
def is_anagram(str1, str2):
list_str1 = list(str1)
list_str1.sort()
list_str2 = list(str2)
list_str2.sort()
return (list_str1 == list_str2)
print(is_anagram('anagram','nagaram'))
print(is_anagram('cat','rat'))
Sample Output:
True False

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
