Leetcode 0242. Valid Anagram

Given two strings `s` and `t`, return `true` if `t` is an anagram of `s`, and `false` otherwise. An Anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.

Description

Given two strings s and t, return true if t is an anagram of s, and false otherwise.

An Anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.

Example 1:

Input: s = “anagram”, t = “nagaram”
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: s = “rat”, t = “car”
Output: false

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length, t.length <= 5 \* 10^4
  • s and t consist of lowercase English letters.

Follow up

  • What if the inputs contain Unicode characters? How would you adapt your solution to such a case?
