Check if two strings are anagrams in Java

Track completion, mastery, and revision.

Two words are said to be Anagrams if both of them consist of the same characters. For example: LISTEN and SILENT are anagrams. Similarly TRIANGLE and INTEGRAL are anagrams.
Note: Anagrams have same length as well.

The basic logic for anagrams are the sum of each character's ASCII sum will be equal.

For example: SAD and DAS — ASCII of S=83, A=65 and D=68. So sum of ASCII values will be equal.

Code:

/* Program to enter two strings and check if they are anagrams*/
import java.util.*;
class Anagrams
{
public static void main()
{
Scanner inp=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("\n Enter First String: ");
String s1=inp.nextLine();
System.out.print("\n Enter Second String: ");
String s2=inp.nextLine();
int n1=0,n2=0,i;
for(i=0;i<s1.length();i++)
n1=n1+s1.charAt(i);
for(i=0;i<s2.length();i++)
n2=n2+s2.charAt(i);
if(n1==n2)
System.out.println(s1+" and "+s2+" are anagrams.");
else
System.out.println(s1+" and "+s2+" are not anagrams.");
}
}

Output:

Enter First String: LISTEN
Enter Second String: SILENT
LISTEN and SILENT are anagrams.
Enter First String: rockets
Enter Second String: restock
rockets and restock are anagrams.
Enter First String: bus
Enter Second String: zub
bus and zub are not anagrams.
