Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Oh! Sort first and then check for equality. Clever!

You'll need to sort them anyway :)

(my first version of the first part only checked the order, without sorting).
