// An [Anagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anagram) is a string that is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.
// Anagram check is case sensitive; i.e. Aba and aba is not a anagram.
// inputs are strings i.e. str1 and str2
const checkAnagram = (str1, str2) => {
// check that inputs are strings.
if (typeof str1 !== 'string' || typeof str2 !== 'string') {
return 'Not string(s)'
}
// If both strings have not same lengths then they can not be anagram.
if (str1.length !== str2.length) {
return false
}
// Use hashmap to keep count of characters in str1
const str1CharCount = new Map()
for (let i = 0; i < str1.length; i++) {

if (str1CharCount.has(str1[i])) {

}
str1CharCount.set(str1[i], previousCount + 1)
}
// Now check if second string has same characters?
for (let i = 0; i < str2.length; i++) {
let previousCount = 0
// if str1CharCount has no key for str2[i] then not anagram.
