Why I replaced the solution?
The original solution works. but runs at complexity of O(N*log(N))
whereas N := max(s1.length(), s2,length) [maximum length of two Strings]
the complexity of N*log(N) is due to sorting the character array.
my solution runs at a linear complexity, O(N).
instead of sorting, I use an HashMap, and 3 successive loops.
