Trying to come up with python anagram function

Question

What I\'m trying to do is if I have a list like:

[\"lime\", \"mile\", \"liem\", \"tag\", \"gat\", \"goat\", \"math\"]

I want to write a functio

Answer 1

Checks two given strings if they're anagrams or not. Those strings may include spaces, numbers or special characters

#First of all define a function that counts the number of alphabets in a string. It'll be used as a final condition to check for anagrams
def count_alpha(text):
    text = text.lower()
    count = 0
    i = 97    #ASCII code range from 'a' to 'z' is 97 to 122
    while i < 123:
        if chr(i) in text:
            count += text.count(chr(i))
        i += 1
    return count
text1 = input('Enter your First Word: ')
text2 = input('Enter your Second Word: ')
#replace all the spaces with empty strings and make the string lower case 
text1 = text1.replace(' ','').lower()
text2 = text2.replace(' ','').lower()
i = 97
while i < 123:
    #check if an alphabet count in both strings is the same.
    if text1.count(chr(i)) == text2.count(chr(i)):
        #replace all the alphabets with spaces
        text1 = text1.replace(chr(i),' ')
        text2 = text2.replace(chr(i),' ')
    i += 1  
#since all the alphabets have been replaced by spaces. There's no alphabet left(if they had the same number of particular alphabets)
if count_alpha(text1) == 0 and count_alpha(text2) == 0:
    print('They are anagrams')
else: print('They are not anagrams')

So here's your code. Enjoy!
