The tools that help create a document, a movie, or a game are all programs. This course uses Python as its programming language. Python programmers are in high demand. The programs you’ll learn in this course are specially designed for learners with no programming background. 

You’ll start with simple math, real-world problem-solving, and writing solutions as steps in a simple language. Next, you’ll learn decision-based solutions demonstrated via flowcharts and explained with execution sheets. Finally, you’ll learn to translate your solutions into Python programs using variables, conditional statements, loops, strings, lists, and built-in functions. You’ll also learn to create your own functions in Python.

Plenty of practice programs with the facility of editing and running them in an embedded way will add to your confidence. After completing this course, you can start as a Python developer. Python is used in business, web, healthcare, education, data science, scraping, embedded systems, and games.

Learn to Code: Python for Absolute Beginners


# Task


Write a function that accepts two strings as parameters and checks whether these strings are anagrams of each other. An **anagram** is a text formed by rearranging the letters of another piece of text.

The strings should _not_ be case-sensitive, meaning that `Cats` and `AcTs` are anagrams.



The function should return `1` when the strings are anagrams and `-1` otherwise.


---
## Sample input 1
```t
str1 = silent
str2 = Listen
```
## The resulting return value 1
```t
1
```
## Expected output 1
```t
The strings are anagrams.
```
---
## Sample input 2
```t
str1 = accept
str2 = expect
```
## The resulting return value 2
```t
-1
```
## Expected output 2
```t
The strings are not anagrams.
```

## How to test your program

When you click the "Test" button of the code widget, you get two options, as explained below:

* **Show Results**: It shows the sample inputs and their respective results in comparison with the expected output. The actual output is the calculated return value after comparing the strings to display the results. The word "Succeeded" in the last column indicates that the calculated output matches the expected output. For example, if `str1` and `str2` are `silent` and `Listen`, respectively, and the return value of the function is `1`, then the last column shows "Succeeded". Similarly, if `str1` and `str2` are `accept` and `expect`, respectively, and the return value of the function is `-1`, then the last column again shows "Succeeded".

* **Show Console**: It shows the output from the `print()` statements used in your code. You may use this to verify your calculations on the basis of sample test inputs. For example, if `str1` and `str2` are `silent` and `Listen`, respectively, then the output on the console should be `The strings are anagrams.`. Similarly, if `str1` and `str2` are `accept` and `expect`, respectively, then the output on the console should be `The strings are not anagrams.`.

Check whether two strings are anagrams of each other.
