Hi, 

How do you check if (exact number of) letters are in a string? 

1. This example should PASS because every letter is found in the string
LETTERS: HID
STRING:  HIDDEN

2. This example should FAIL because the letters contain 2 N's but the string only has 1 N. 
LETTERS: NINE
STRING:  HIDDEN


Pangram doesn't seem to be a solution... because it considers #2 above as PASS.
This is because pangrams check for AT LEAST one letter (this means, it considers a pangram even if the letter is a duplicate)


Is there another way how to check if (exact number of) letters are in a string? 
Thank you very much!

Here is the sample code: 

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Strings.Maps; use Ada.Strings.Maps;
with Ada.Characters.Handling; use Ada.Characters.Handling;
procedure main is
 
	function ispangram(txt: String) return Boolean is
		lowtxt : String := To_Lower(txt);
		letset,txtset : Character_Set;
		begin
		letset := To_Set("nine");
		txtset := To_Set(lowtxt);
		return (letset-txtset)=Null_Set;
	end ispangram;
 
begin
put_line(Boolean'Image(ispangram("hidden")));

end main;
