Decode the Coding Interview in Kotlin: Real-World Examples

DIY: Group Anagrams

Explore how to identify and group anagrams from a list of words using Kotlin. Understand the algorithmic approach to rearranging letters and practice creating efficient data structures that enhance problem-solving skills for coding 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 groupAnagrams(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.

Kotlin 1.5
internal object Solution {

    fun groupAnagrams(strs: List<String>): List<List<String>> {

        // write your code here

        return ArrayList()

    }

}
