Answer:
Anagram
Explanation:
public class Anagram {
public static boolean areAnagrams(String string1,
String string2) {
String workingCopy1 = removeJunk(string1);
String workingCopy2 = removeJunk(string2);
workingCopy1 = workingCopy1.toLowerCase();
workingCopy2 = workingCopy2.toLowerCase();
workingCopy1 = sort(workingCopy1);
workingCopy2 = sort(workingCopy2);
return workingCopy1.equals(workingCopy2);
}
protected static String removeJunk(String string) {
int i, len = string.length();
StringBuilder dest = new StringBuilder(len);
char c;
for (i = (len - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
c = string.charAt(i);
if (Character.isLetter(c)) {
dest.append(c);
}
}
return dest.toString();
}
protected static String sort(String string) {
char[] charArray = string.toCharArray();
java.util.Arrays.sort(charArray);
return new String(charArray);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String string1 = "Cosmo and Laine:";
String string2 = "Maid, clean soon!";
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Testing whether the following "
+ "strings are anagrams:");
System.out.println(" String 1: " + string1);
System.out.println(" String 2: " + string2);
System.out.println();
if (areAnagrams(string1, string2)) {
System.out.println("They ARE anagrams!");
} else {
System.out.println("They are NOT anagrams!");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
