✅ Features

  • Ignores case ("Listen" and "Silent" are anagrams)
  • Ignores whitespace ("Clint Eastwood" and "Old West Action")
  • Uses HashMap for character frequency count
  • Efficient: Time Complexity: O(n) | Space Complexity: O(n)
  • Demonstrates mid-level Java skills:
    • String manipulation
    • HashMap usage
    • Input sanitization
    • Edge case handling

💡 How It Works

  1. Converts both strings to lowercase and removes all spaces.
  2. Uses a HashMap<Character, Integer> to count the frequency of each character in the first string.
  3. Iterates over the second string and decrements the character counts.
  4. If all frequencies return to zero and the map is empty, the strings are anagrams.

🧪 Example

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s1 = "Listen";
    String s2 = "Silent";

    if (areAnagrams(s1, s2)) {
        System.out.println("\"" + s1 + "\" and \"" + s2 + "\" are anagrams.");
    } else {
        System.out.println("\"" + s1 + "\" and \"" + s2 + "\" are NOT anagrams.");
    }
}
