+"""
+Checks whether two strings are valid anagrams of each other.
+
+An anagram is a word formed by rearranging the letters of another word,
+using all the original letters exactly once.
+
+For example:
+listen → silent
+evil → live
+
+This can be done efficiently using Python's collections.Counter
+to compare character frequencies in both strings.
+
+Example:
+>>> is_anagram("listen", "silent")
+True
+>>> is_anagram("evil", "vile")
+True
+>>> is_anagram("hello", "bello")
+False
+>>> is_anagram("", "")
+True
+>>> is_anagram("a", "aa")
+False
