You are given two strings 'str1' and 'str1'.


You have to tell whether these strings form an anagram pair or not.


The strings form an anagram pair if the letters of one string can be rearranged to form another string.

Pre-requisites:

Anagrams are defined as words or names that can be formed by rearranging the letters of another word. Such as "spar" can be formed by rearranging letters of "rasp". Hence, "spar" and "rasp" are anagrams. 

Other examples include:

'triangle' and 'integral'
'listen' and 'silent'
Note:
Since it is a binary problem, there is no partial marking. Marks will only be awarded if you get all the test cases correct. 
Problem approach

Sort the two given strings and compare, if they are equal then they are anagram of each other.

2. Missing Number

You are given an array/list ‘BINARYNUMS’ that consists of ‘N’ distinct strings which represent all integers from 0 to N in binary representation except one integer. This integer between 0 to ‘N’ whose binary representation is not present in list ‘BINARYNUMS’ is called ‘Missing Integer’.

Your task is to find the binary representation of that ‘Missing Integer’. You should return a string that represents this ‘Missing Integer’ in binary without leading zeros.

Note

1. There will be no leading zeros in any string in the list ‘BINARYNUMS’.

Example:

Consider N = 5 and the list ‘binaryNums’=  [“0”, “01”, “010”, “100”, “101”].  This list consists of the binary representation of numbers [0, 1, 2, 4, 5]. Clearly, the missing number is 3 and its binary representation will be “11”. So you should return string “11”.
