1347. Minimum Number of Steps to Make Two Strings Anagram
Medium
You are given two strings of the same length
s and t. In one step you can choose any character of t and replace it with another character.Return the minimum number of steps to make
t an anagram of s.An Anagram of a string is a string that contains the same characters with a different (or the same) ordering.
Example 1:
Input: s = "bab", t = "aba"
Output:
1
Explanation:
Replace the first 'a' in t with b, t = "bba" which is anagram of s.
Example 2:
Input: s = "leetcode", t = "practice"
Output:
5
Explanation:
Replace 'p', 'r', 'a', 'i' and 'c' from t with proper characters to make t anagram of s.
Example 3:
Input: s = "anagram", t = "mangaar"
Output:
0
Explanation:
"anagram" and "mangaar" are anagrams.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 5 * 104s.length == t.lengthsandtconsist of lowercase English letters only.
