Java

Java is a high-level, object-oriented language known for its portability and reliability. Mastering Java is key for developers to build scalable, secure software efficiently.

In this course, you will start by mastering the art of problem-solving with simple Java programs, such as the Bottle Filling example. You will learn how to structure your solutions, create execution sheets, and enhance your problem-solving abilities through practical exercises and quizzes. Progressing further, you will learn decision-making and branching in Java, understanding flowcharts, conditional expressions, and their application. You will also learn about Java basics, including the first Java program, fundamentals, conditional statements, and error categories, followed by in-depth lessons on working with Java strings and arrays. 

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of Java programming fundamentals and the ability to solve real-world problems using Java.

# 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.`.
