Decode the Coding Interview in Elixir: Real-World Examples

DIY: Group Anagrams

Explore how to implement a function that groups anagrams from a list of words in Elixir. This lesson helps you understand anagrams and develop practical coding techniques to solve problems common in technical interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Problem Statement

You are given a list of words or phrases, and you need to group the words that are anagrams of each other. An anagram is a word, phrase, or sentence formed from another word by rearranging its letters.

Input

The input will be a list of words or phrases. The following is an example of input:

["word", "sword", "drow", "rowd", "iced", "dice"]

Output

The output should be a list of grouped words. The following is an example output:

[['word', 'drow', 'rowd'], ['sword'], ['iced', 'dice']]

Coding exercise

You need to implement the function group_anagrams(strs), where strs is the list of words you need to group together. The function returns a list containing multiple lists of the newly created groups.

Elixir
defmodule Solution do

  def group_anagrams(_strs) do

    # write your code here

    []

  end

end
