Checking strings against each other (Anagrams)

Question

The assignment is to write a program that accepts two groups of words from the user and then prints a \"True\" statement if the two are anagrams (or at least if all the lett

Answer 1

Simplest shortest solution

def anagram(word1, word2):
    return sorted(word1) == sorted(word2)

check

print(anagram("xyz","zyx"))
>>True

print(anagram("xyz","zyy"))
>>False

Answer 2

Just a thought:

def check_(arg):
        mark = hash(str(set(sorted(arg))))
        return mark

def ana(s1, s2):
        if check_(s1) != check_(s2):
                pass
        elif len(s1) != len(s2):
                pass
        else:
             print("{0} could be anagram of  {1}".format(s1, s2))

    #An anagram is the result of rearranging the letters of a word to produce a new word. Anagrams are case insensitive
    #Examples:
    # foefet is an anagram of toffee
    # Buckethead is an anagram of DeathCubeK

        """Сhecks 'test' is anagram of 'original' strings based on:
        1. length of the both string and length of the sets made from the strings is equivalent
        2. then checks equivalents of sorted lists created from test and original strings

        >>> is_anagram1('Same','same')
        False
        >>> is_anagram1('toffee','foeftt')

        # check the length of the both string

### 2 items passed all tests:
### 6 tests in __main__.is_anagram
### 6 tests in __main__.is_anagram1
### 12 tests in 3 items.
### 12 passed and 0 failed.
### Test passed

Answer 4

This case we check using two containers for each sorted string.

def anagram(s1, s2):
    str1 = ''
    str2 = ''

    for i in s1:
      str1 += i

    for j in s2:
      str2 += j

    if str1 == str2:
      return True

    return False

Answer 5

Why not just sort the strings?

>>> sorted('anagram')
['a', 'a', 'a', 'g', 'm', 'n', 'r']
>>> sorted('nagaram')
['a', 'a', 'a', 'g', 'm', 'n', 'r']
>>> sorted('anagram') == sorted('nagaram')
True

Answer 6

>>> s1 = 'vivid'
>>> s2 = 'dvivi'
>>> s3 = 'vivid'
>>> def is_anagram(s1, s2):
...     if s1.lower() == s2.lower():
...         return False
...     return sorted(s1.lower()) == sorted(s2.lower())
...
>>> is_anagram(s1, s2)
True
>>> is_anagram(s1, s3)
False
>>> s2 = 'dvivii'
>>> is_anagram(s1, s2)
False
>>> s2 = 'evivi'
>>> is_anagram(s1, s2)
False
>>>
