An anagram is a word or a phrase made by transposing the letters of another word or phrase; for example, "parliament" is an anagram of "partial men," and "software" is an anagram of "swear oft." Write a program that figures out whether one string is an anagram of another string. The program should ignore white space and punctuation

Sure, here is a Python program that checks if two strings are anagrams of each other:

def is_anagram(str1, str2):
    # Remove white spaces and convert to lower case
    str1 = str1.replace(" ", "").lower()
    str2 = str2.replace(" ", "").lower()

    # Check if both strings have the same length
    if len(str1) != len(str2):
        return False

    # Create a count dictionary for each string
    count1 = {}
    count2 = {}

    # Count the frequency of each character in the first string
    for char in str1:
        if char in count1:
            count1[char] += 1
        else:
            count1[char] = 1

    # Count the frequency of each character in the second string
    for char in str2:
        if char in count2:
            count2[char] += 1
        else:
            count2[char] = 1

    # Check if both dictionaries are equal
    if count1 == count2:
        return True
    else:
        return False

# Test the function
print(is_anagram("parliament", "partial men"))  # Should print True
print(is_anagram("software", "swear oft"))  # Should print True

This program works by counting the frequency of each character in both strings and comparing these counts. If the counts are the same for all characters, then the strings are anagrams of each other.
