### Anagrams of string (with duplicates)
Use recursion.
For each letter in the given string, create all the partial anagrams for the rest of its letters.
Use `map()` to combine the letter with each partial anagram, then `reduce()` to combine all anagrams in one array.
Base cases are for string `length` equal to `2` or `1`.
```js
const anagrams = str => {
if(str.length <= 2) return str.length === 2 ? [str, str[1] + str[0]] : [str];
return str.split('').reduce( (acc, letter, i) =>
acc.concat(anagrams(str.slice(0, i) + str.slice(i + 1)).map( val => letter + val )), []);
}
// anagrams('abc') -> ['abc','acb','bac','bca','cab','cba']
```
