Suppose I have a list of strings like ["car", "tree", "boy", "girl", "arc"] etc. I want to find groups of anagrams in that list - in this case, (car, arc).
I tried writing code to loop over the list and compare pairs of strings, but how do I account for the fact that the letters can be in a different order?
For the specific case of checking whether a single pair of strings are anagrams of each other, see Checking strings against each other (Anagrams).
In order to do this for 2 strings you can do this:
def isAnagram(str1, str2):
str1_list = list(str1)
str1_list.sort()
str2_list = list(str2)
str2_list.sort()
return (str1_list == str2_list)
As for the iteration on the list, it is pretty straight forward
