2 * [2186] Minimum Number of Steps to Make Two Strings Anagram II
3 *
4 * You are given two strings s and t. In one step, you can append any character to either s or t.
5 * Return the minimum number of steps to make s and t anagrams of each other.
6 * An anagram of a string is a string that contains the same characters with a different (or the same) ordering.
7 *
8 * Example 1:
9 *
10 * Input: s = "<u>lee</u>tco<u>de</u>", t = "co<u>a</u>t<u>s</u>"
11 * Output: 7
12 * Explanation:
13 * - In 2 steps, we can append the letters in "as" onto s = "leetcode", forming s = "leetcode<u>as</u>".
14 * - In 5 steps, we can append the letters in "leede" onto t = "coats", forming t = "coats<u>leede</u>".
15 * "leetcodeas" and "coatsleede" are now anagrams of each other.
16 * We used a total of 2 + 5 = 7 steps.
17 * It can be shown that there is no way to make them anagrams of each other with less than 7 steps.
18 *
19 * Example 2:
20 *
21 * Input: s = "night", t = "thing"
22 * Output: 0
23 * Explanation: The given strings are already anagrams of each other. Thus, we do not need any further steps.
24 *
25 *
26 * Constraints:
27 *
28 * 1 <= s.length, t.length <= 2 * 10^5
29 * s and t consist of lowercase English letters.
