finding if two words are anagrams of each other

Question

I am looking for a method to find if two strings are anagrams of one another.

Ex: string1 - abcde
string2 - abced
Ans = true
Ex: string1 - abcde
string2 - ab         


        

Answer 1

How about converting into the int value of the character and sum up :

If the value of sum are equals then they are anagram to each other.

def are_anagram1(s1, s2):
    return [False, True][sum([ord(x) for x in s1]) == sum([ord(x) for x in s2])]

s1 = 'james'
s2 = 'amesj'
print are_anagram1(s1,s2)

This solution works only for 'A' to 'Z' and 'a' to 'z'.
