Strings: Making Anagrams

    In the same spirit here is my Java 8 solution for the lulz:

    public static int numberNeeded(String first, String second) {
        int[] freq = new int[26];
        first.chars().forEach((c) -> {
            freq[c - 97]++;
        });
        second.chars().forEach((c) -> {
            freq[c - 97]--;
        });
        return Arrays.stream(freq).map(Math::abs).sum();
}
