@InXsense:

First, make sure that you have read the problem statement carefully. It's not important to return a list of the words themselves, but rather the size of the list.

Second, it's difficult to understand what's going wrong. Can you provide the test data and the exact output of your program?

Third, do not sort the input data if that's what you're doing. It's important to return the number of anagrams in the same order as the test data as given.

I'll wait for your reply, then take another look at the question then.

OK, for input: 7 rescued drapes retrains deltas diapers singers posited

I also get output: 3 5 4 4 3 3 3

Admin, would you take a look at this one? InXsense might have found a bug. I'll look at this some more later tonight. I have a class to go teach.

Hi there! I finally managed my finction to work correctly and it gives me almost the right result, except it is increased by ONE, for some reason. I've been inspecting my code for quite a long time but still don't understand as to why it happens.

here's my code:

include <iostream>

include <fstream>

include <string>

using namespace std;

bool is_anagram(string source, string interest){ int i, j, c = 0;

for(i=0; i<source.size(); i++){
    for(j=0; j<source.size(); j++){
        if(source[i] == interest[j]){
            interest[j] = 0;
            c++;
            break;
        }
    }
}

if(source.size() != interest.size()-1) return 0;//subtracting one only bcz the stream takes the characters and CR
else if(source.size() == c) return 1;
else return 0;

}

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { int i, casesNum, counter; string line; string cases[20];

cout << "Enter the number of cases and the cases themselves!" << endl;
cin >> casesNum;
for(i=0; i<casesNum; i++){
    cin >> cases[i];
}

fstream Dictionary;//opening the file on the go with constructor

cout << "Answer: " << endl;
for(i=0; i<casesNum; i++){
    Dictionary.open("/Users/mikhail/Desktop/MyCtrial/MyCtrial/Anagrams/words.txt");
    counter = 0;
    while (getline (Dictionary, line) ){
        if(is_anagram(cases[i], line)) counter++;
    }
    Dictionary.close();
    cout << counter << " ";
}


cout << "\n";
return 0;

}

My input:

9 adheres ingrates leaps passer teariest medical reveres testers sparely

My output:

4 4 6 5 4 5 4 4 5

The site says my answer is incorrect, but I know for sure, that my counter just overcounts by one. Is it possible that the las "line" could have taken CR from the file stream? And then something weird happened to my cases?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Michael,

As what you posted is mangled, I tried your "accepted" code, but can't get it to output anything like the correct answer. For the first test case "adheres" it only finds one anagram "headrest" but that has an extra letter.

Hi Quandrey! If only you could advise me on how to post my code correctly... Then, I think, you would've been able to try it out.

This says you have to indent it all 4 spaces
