This problem can be found as problem 49. Group Anagrams
Problem
Given an array of strings strs
, group the anagrams together. You can return the answer in any order.
An Anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.
Example 1:
Input: strs = ["eat","tea","tan","ate","nat","bat"]
Output: [["bat"],["nat","tan"],["ate","eat","tea"]]
Example 2:
Input: strs = [""]
Output: [[""]]
Example 3:
Input: strs = ["a"]
Output: [["a"]]
Constraints:
1 <= strs.length <= 104
0 <= strs[i].length <= 100
strs[i]
consists of lowercase English letters.
The wording of the question has a very interesting hidden easter-egg. You should latch on to that in your interviews for the best results. This post will discuss this at the end.
