What I am saying is that your code would say my two strings "match", which is clearly not true.

No it will not. It converts char to its ascii value and sum them.

Last time I checked, 97 + 98 + 99 = 98 + 98 + 98

If you are intelligent enough to know this is not a programming question, then why did you respond as if it were, thus encouraging the OP ?

Since you recognize this is a programming question, and since you've been a member of CodeProject for many years ... why did you respond to the OP's question multiple times, thus reinforcing his abuse of the Lounge ?

How can you two be members for approximately a century and still have no other problems?

Threats.

I know you didn't report it, because I checked the OP's message log, and only one person had downvoted the post (and that was me)...

Are you thinking about performance? If so, use the fastest but more inaccurate checks first. If they fail, return false. If they pass, then do the slower but more accurate checks. That way, the false results would be really fast. The true results would be a touch slower.

Should have waited until Friday, then post a Friday Programming Challenge (haven't had one for a while).
If you care about only ASCII characters, use an array of ints
If you want to support Unicode, use a Dictionary of ints
Iterate the strings
For each character in the first string, increment its respective value
For each character in the second string, decrement its respective value
At the end, all values should be zero

It could be a misunderstanding that 1 == best.
