What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)

I completed the anagram checker functions in assignment_1.ipynb.

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

I learned to use if-statements; use functions and methods on lists and strings; create custom functions.

Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

NA

Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?

I encountered problems with .lower(). If I have string variable x = "ABC" and I call x after running x.lower(), the returned value is still "ABC". Instead, I have to reassign the value to x (i.e. x = x.lower()) in order to get "abc" when I call x. This is what I ended up doing in the assignment even though I thought methods should just update the variable they are applied to without requiring reassignment.

How were these changes tested?

I tested the changes by running the cells that called the anagram checker functions with various inputs.

A reference to a related issue in your repository (if applicable)
