49. Group Anagrams

Medium

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:

Solution

# @param {String[]} strs
# @return {String[][]}
def group_anagrams(strs)
  hm = Hash.new {|hash, key| hash[key] = []}

  strs.each do |s|
    sorted_str = s.chars.sort.join
    hm[sorted_str] << s
  end

  hm.values
end
