String Scramble
Have the function StringScramble(str1,str2) take both parameters being passed and return the string true if a portion of str1 characters can be rearranged to match str2, otherwise return the string false. For example: if str1 is “rkqodlw” and str2 is “world” the output should return true. Punctuation and symbols will not be entered with the parameters.
function StringScramble(str1,str2) {
// Loop through each character in str2
for (let i = 0; i < str2.length; i++) {
// Get the current character in str2
let char = str2[i];
// Find the index of the character in str1
let index = str1.indexOf(char);
// If the character is not found in str1, return false
if (index === -1) {
return false;
}
// Remove the character from str1
str1 = str1.substring(0, index) + str1.substring(index + 1);
}
// All characters in str2 were found in str1, return true
return true;
}
// keep this function call here
console.log(StringScramble(readline()));
