1347. Minimum Number of Steps to Make Two Strings Anagram

https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-number-of-steps-to-make-two-strings-anagram

Description

Given two equal-size strings 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. 

Example 4:

**Input:** s = "xxyyzz", t = "xxyyzz"
**Output:** 0

Example 5:

**Input:** s = "friend", t = "family"
**Output:** 4

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 50000

  • s.length == t.length

  • s and t contain lower-case English letters only.
