Closes #68
What I changed
Added an efficient C implementation in
problems/anagram/solution.cusing a 26-element character frequency array.How it works
The problem requires checking whether two input words or phrases separated by a comma are anagrams of each other, ignoring capital letters and whitespace.
The implementation reads the line from standard input via$O(n)$ time and $O(1)$ auxiliary space, printing
fgetsand finds the comma delimiter usingstrchr. It tracks character frequencies using a fixed 26-element arraycount[26]. For the first phrase (before the comma), it increments the count for alphabetic characters (tolower(c) - 'a'). For the second phrase (after the comma), it decrements the counts. Finally, it checks that all counts return to zero intrueif anagrams, otherwisefalse.Verification
Ran the test runner using
python3 run.py anagram --lang c:solution.c: ok (0.434s)Summary: 1 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped.
