I understand how to check 2 Strings for anagrams. Before that how would I clean up the input strings from white spaces, capital letters and punctuations.

  • Instead of removing spaces, capital letters or punctuation, put a condition in the checkAnagram code for these characters and skip those. This way one iteration can be saved(:P). Can you post your Anagram code, so that we can have a look at that and suggest changes? – Krishna Kumar Apr 03 '15 at 16:23

    @KrishnaKumar SO isn't the appropriate site for code reviews; the [Code Review StackExchange](http://codereview.stackexchange.com/) is. – Dave Newton Apr 03 '15 at 16:26
  • I am not asking for code review, to suggest an answer I am just giving one suggestion, we can point out easily the change based on the code. – Krishna Kumar Apr 03 '15 at 16:36

Try this: s = s.replaceAll("[^\\p{Alnum}]", "").toLowerCase();
