def is_anagram(str1, str2):
     return Counter(str1) == Counter(str2)
 
# or without having to import anything
def is_anagram(str1, str2):
    return sorted(str1) == sorted(str2)
 
print(is_anagram('geek', 'eegk'))
print(is_anagram('geek', 'peek'))   


Output:

True
False

11. Sorting the dictionary according to key and value

Python3




x={1:3,4:2,5:1,2:9}

print(sorted(x.items(),key=lambda a:a[1]))
#sorting the dictionary according to key
print(sorted(x.items(),key=lambda a:a[0]))
