Anagrams Within Words
February 21, 2014
We have a little programming puzzle today:
Given two words, determine if the first word, or any anagram of it, appears in consecutive characters of the second word. For instance, cat appears as an anagram in the first three letters of actor, but car does not appear as an anagram in actor even though all the letters of car appear in actor.
Your task is to write a function to determine if an anagram is present in a word. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
