strings are just numbers, right? So make them into two arrays, sort them, and check them using an algorithim that I've forgotten the name of, but involves deciding to increment a side by looking at which side has the lower number.

Strings are lists of characters. I.e., words or sentences. See the answer below. :)

I would have just used a hash set. Does not require sorting and you just have to iterate through the list once for a time complexity of O(n)

This is the answer I look for when I interview someone. Though, putting them in a list and sorting them is also an interesting (but not optimal) answer.
