In programming terms, Is there any difference between
Generate Anagrams, and
Generate Permutations of a string ????

Only that "rat" and "tar" are anagrams (and permutations (and palindromes)), but "rta" would just be a permutation.

i dint get that clearly, why is rta not an anagram , is it because, its not there in the dictionary or something ???

Exactly right - rta is not a word or phrase.

Royal Terpsichore Associates methinks... :icon_twisted:

But that's still not an anagram.

That's an acronym, WaltP. DNA, RNA, Nasa, etc., are all acronyms.

An anagram has to have every letter of the word or phrase it can be rearranged to form.
