What is Anagram?
An anagram is a word or a phrase, which is formed by rearranging the letters or characters of another word or phrase.
Examples of Anagram:
expect - except
insect - nicest
rescued - reduced
thicken - kitchen
drawback - backward
Below is a simple Java code for Checking if two strings are Anagrams or not
Java Program to check if Two Strings are Anagram:
<![CDATA[
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Anagram{
static void isStringAnagram(String first, String second) {
// Remove all space from both Strings
String s1 = first.replaceAll("\\s", "");
String s2 = second.replaceAll("\\s", "");
boolean status = true;
if (s1.length() != s2.length()) {
status = false;
} else {
char[] S1Array = s1.toLowerCase().toCharArray();
char[] S2Array = s2.toLowerCase().toCharArray();
Arrays.sort(S1Array);
Arrays.sort(S2Array);
status = Arrays.equals(S1Array, S2Array);
}
if (status) {
System.out.println(s1 + " and " + s2 + " are anagrams");
} else {
System.out.println(s1 + " and " + s2 + " are not anagrams");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc =new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter first word or phrase");
String first=sc.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter second word or phrase");
String second=sc.nextLine();
isStringAnagram(first,second);
}
}
]]>
Output:
<![CDATA[
C:\Users\SK\Desktop\javaPrograms>javac Anagram.java
C:\Users\SK\Desktop\javaPrograms>java Anagram
Enter first word or phrase
drawback
Enter second word or phrase
backward
drawback and backward are anagrams
C:\Users\SK\Desktop\javaPrograms>java Anagram
Enter first word or phrase
A gentleman
Enter second word or phrase
Elegant man
Agentleman and Elegantman are anagrams
