Group Anagrams
Problem statement
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 <= 1040 <= strs[i].length <= 100strs[i]consists of lowercase English letters.
My solution
/**
* @param {string[]} strs
* @return {string[][]}
*/
var groupAnagrams = function(strs) {
let memo = new Map();
let strCount = new Map();
const baseValue = "a".charCodeAt(0);
for (let str of strs) {
const strValue = Array.from({
length: 26
}, () => 0);
for (const c of str) {
strValue[c.charCodeAt(0) - baseValue]++
}
strCount.set(str, strValue.join(":"))
}
// console.log(strCount)
for (const str of strs) {
const key = strCount.get(str);
const list = memo.get(key) || [];
list.push(str);
memo.set(key, list)
}
// console.log(memo)
return [...memo.values()]
};
