--description--

Given two strings, determine if they are anagrams of each other (contain the same characters in any order).

• Ignore casing and white space.

--hints--

are_anagrams("listen", "silent") should return true.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertTrue(are_anagrams("listen", "silent"))`)
}})

are_anagrams("School master", "The classroom") should return true.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertTrue(are_anagrams("School master", "The classroom"))`)
}})

are_anagrams("A gentleman", "Elegant man") should return true.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertTrue(are_anagrams("A gentleman", "Elegant man"))`)
}})

are_anagrams("Hello", "World") should return false.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertFalse(are_anagrams("Hello", "World"))`)
}})

are_anagrams("apple", "banana") should return false.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertFalse(are_anagrams("apple", "banana"))`)
}})

are_anagrams("cat", "dog") should return false.

({test: () => { runPython(`
