Making Anagrams
Problem Statement :
We consider two strings to be anagrams of each other if the first string's letters can be rearranged to form the second string. In other words, both strings must contain the same exact letters in the same exact frequency. For example, bacdc and dcbac are anagrams, but bacdc and dcbad are not. Alice is taking a cryptography class and finding anagrams to be very useful. She decides on an encryption scheme involving two large strings where encryption is dependent on the minimum number of character deletions required to make the two strings anagrams. Can you help her find this number? Given two strings, s1 and s2, that may not be of the same length, determine the minimum number of character deletions required to make s1 and s2 anagrams. Any characters can be deleted from either of the strings. Function Description Complete the makingAnagrams function in the editor below. makingAnagrams has the following parameter(s): string s1: a string string s2: a string Returns int: the minimum number of deletions needed Input Format The first line contains a single string, s1. The second line contains a single string, s2 Constraints 1 <= | s1 | , | s2 | <= 10^4 It is guaranteed that s1 and s2 consist of lowercase English letters, ascii[a-z]..

The median of a set of integers is the midpoint value of the data set for which an equal number of integers are less than and greater than the value. To find the median, you must first sort your set of integers in non-decreasing order, then: If your set contains an odd number of elements, the median is the middle element of the sorted sample. In the sorted set { 1, 2, 3 } , 2 is the median.

Tieu owns a pizza restaurant and he manages it in his own way. While in a normal restaurant, a customer is served by following the first-come, first-served rule, Tieu simply minimizes the average waiting time of his customers. So he gets to decide who is served first, regardless of how sooner or later a person comes. Different kinds of pizzas take different amounts of time to cook. Also, once h
