--description--

Given two strings, determine if they are anagrams of each other (contain the same characters in any order).

  • Ignore casing and white space.

--hints--

areAnagrams("listen", "silent") should return true.

js
assert.isTrue(areAnagrams("listen", "silent"));

areAnagrams("School master", "The classroom") should return true.

js
assert.isTrue(areAnagrams("School master", "The classroom"));

areAnagrams("A gentleman", "Elegant man") should return true.

js
assert.isTrue(areAnagrams("A gentleman", "Elegant man"));

areAnagrams("Hello", "World") should return false.

js
assert.isFalse(areAnagrams("Hello", "World"));

areAnagrams("apple", "banana") should return false.

js
assert.isFalse(areAnagrams("apple", "banana"));

areAnagrams("cat", "dog") should return false.

js
assert.isFalse(areAnagrams("cat", "dog"));

--seed--

--seed-contents--

js
function areAnagrams(str1, str2) {

  return str1;
}

--solutions--

js
function areAnagrams(str1, str2) {
  const clean = (str) =>
    str.replace(/\s+/g, '').toLowerCase().split('').sort().join('');
    
  return clean(str1) === clean(str2);
}
