We consider two strings to be anagrams of each other if the first string's letters can be rearranged to form the second string. In other words, both strings must contain the same exact letters in the same exact frequency. For example, bacdc and dcbac are anagrams, but bacdc

In this challenge, you will determine whether a string is funny or not. To determine whether a string is funny, create a copy of the string in reverse e.g. . Iterating through each string, compare the absolute difference in the ascii values of the characters at positions 0 and 1,

We say that a string contains the word hackerrank if a subsequence of its characters spell the word hackerrank. For example, if string it does contain hackerrank, but does not. In the second case, the second r is missing. If we reorder the first string as , it no longer contains
