How to print the characters need to be removed so that two strings become anagram in JavaScript

Answer 1

function PrintCharactersNeedToBeRemovedForAnagram(str1, str2) {
    const TotalABCLetters = 26;
    let count1 = Array(TotalABCLetters).fill(0);
    let count2 = Array(TotalABCLetters).fill(0);
    const size1 = str1.length;
    const size2 = str2.length;
         
    // count char frequency str1
    for (let i = 0; i < size1; i++) {
        count1[str1.charAt(i).charCodeAt(0) - 'a'.charCodeAt(0)]++;
    }
         
    // count char frequency str2
    for (let i = 0; i < size2; i++) {
        count2[str2.charAt(i).charCodeAt(0) - 'a'.charCodeAt(0)]++;
    }
         
    for (let i = 0; i < TotalABCLetters; i++) {
        if (Math.abs(count1[i] - count2[i]) != 0) {
            console.log(String.fromCharCode((i + 'a'.charCodeAt(0))));
        }
    }
}

const str1 = "masterfx";
const str2 = "ksampret";
        
PrintCharactersNeedToBeRemovedForAnagram(str1, str2);
