/**
 * 242. Valid Anagram
 * Given two strings s and t, write a function to determine if t is an anagram of s.

 For example,
 s = "anagram", t = "nagaram", return true.
 s = "rat", t = "car", return false.

 Note:
 You may assume the string contains only lowercase alphabets.

 Follow up:
 What if the inputs contain unicode characters? How would you adapt your solution to such case?
