Problem
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 * 104
s.length == t.length
s
andt
consist of lowercase English letters only.
