(Anagrams) Python Question

Question

Write a function that checks whether two words are anagrams. Two words are anagrams if they contain the same letters. For example, silent and listen are anagrams. The header of the function is:

def isAnagram(s1, s2):

(Hint: Obtain two lists for the two strings. Sort the lists and check if two lists are identical.)

Write a test program that prompts the user to enter two strings and checks whether they are anagrams.

Answer 1

1st method:

checks that all elements present in string1 are also present in string2 while ensuring the lengths are the same

def is_anagram(s1, s2):

x= all(i in s2 for i in s1)

if x and len(s1) == len(s2):

return True

return False

2nd method:

lambda function

a = 'spin'

b = 'pins

anagram = lambda x,y: sorted(x)==sorted(y)

print(anagram(a,b))
