Explanation: We convert both strings to arrays, sort them, and check if they are equal.
Two strings are anagrams if they contain the same characters in a different order:
Check Anagram Strings
Check Anagram Strings
Two strings are anagrams if they contain the same characters in a different order:
Example
import java.util.Arrays;
String str1 = "listen";
String str2 = "silent";
char[] arr1 = str1.toCharArray();
char[] arr2 = str2.toCharArray();
Arrays.sort(arr1);
Arrays.sort(arr2);
boolean isAnagram = Arrays.equals(arr1, arr2);
System.out.println(isAnagram ? "Anagram" : "Not Anagram");Explanation: We convert both strings to arrays, sort them, and check if they are equal. If yes, the strings are anagrams.
