### anagrams
Generates all anagrams of a string (contains duplicates).
Use recursion.
For each letter in the given string, create all the partial anagrams for the rest of its letters.
Use `Array.map()` to combine the letter with each partial anagram, then `Array.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)),
[]
);
};
```
```js
anagrams('abc'); // ['abc','acb','bac','bca','cab','cba']
```
