anagram in a java code example

Example 1: how to find two strings are anagrams in java

import java.util.Arrays;  
   
public class AnagramString {  
    static void isAnagram(String str1, String str2) {  
        String s1 = str1.replaceAll("\\s", "");  
        String s2 = str2.replaceAll("\\s", "");  
        boolean status = true;  
        if (s1.length() != s2.length()) {  
            status = false;  
        } else {  
            char[] ArrayS1 = s1.toLowerCase().toCharArray();  
            char[] ArrayS2 = s2.toLowerCase().toCharArray();  
            Arrays.sort(ArrayS1);  
            Arrays.sort(ArrayS2);  
            status = Arrays.equals(ArrayS1, ArrayS2);  
        }  
        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) {  
        isAnagram("Keep", "Peek");  
        isAnagram("Mother In Law", "Hitler Woman");  
    }  
}  
/*OUTPUT
*Keep and Peek are anagrams
*MotherInLaw and HitlerWoman are anagrams
*/

Example 2: check if anagram

function isAnagram(stringA, stringB) {
  // Sanitizing
  stringA = stringA.toLowerCase().replace(/[\W_]+/g, "");
  stringB = stringB.toLowerCase().replace(/[\W_]+/g, "");

  // sorting
  const stringASorted = stringA.split("").sort().join("");
  const stringBSorted = stringB.split("").sort().join("");

  return stringASorted === stringBSorted;
}
