Group Anagrams

Last updated

What is Group Anagrams?

Given a list of strings, group together all strings that are anagrams of each other. Since anagrams share the same characters, sorting each string gives a common key you can use in a hash map. A more optimal approach uses character frequency arrays as keys instead of sorting. This problem teaches you to think about what makes two things equivalent and use that equivalence as a grouping key, a useful mental model for many hash map problems.
