Class Solution
Medium
You are given two strings s
and t
. In one step, you can append any character to either s
or t
.
Return the minimum number of steps to make s
and t
anagrams of each other.
An anagram of a string is a string that contains the same characters with a different (or the same) ordering.
Example 1:
Input: s = “leetcode”, t = “coats”
Output: 7
Explanation:
-
In 2 steps, we can append the letters in “as” onto s = “leetcode”, forming s = “leetcodeas”.
-
In 5 steps, we can append the letters in “leede” onto t = “coats”, forming t = “coatsleede”.
“leetcodeas” and “coatsleede” are now anagrams of each other.
We used a total of 2 + 5 = 7 steps.
It can be shown that there is no way to make them anagrams of each other with less than 7 steps.
Example 2:
Input: s = “night”, t = “thing”
Output: 0
Explanation: The given strings are already anagrams of each other. Thus, we do not need any further steps.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length, t.length <= 2 * 105
s
andt
consist of lowercase English letters.
