what do you mean by smallest anagram of a string
The smallest anagram of a string refers to the anagram that comes first in lexicographic order among all possible anagrams of that string.
Here are the steps to find the smallest anagram of a string:
- Sort the characters of the string in ascending order. This rearranges the characters to form the smallest possible string in lexicographic order.
- Print or return the sorted string as the smallest anagram.
For example, consider the string "hello":
- Sorting the characters in ascending order gives "ehllo".
- "ehllo" is the smallest anagram of the string "hello" in lexicographic order.
