Given an input string, reverse the string word by word. A word is defined as a sequence of non-space characters.
The input string does not contain leading or trailing spaces and the words are always separated by a single space.
For example,
Given s = "the sky is blue
",
return "blue is sky the
".
Could you do itin-placewithout allocating extra space?

Update (2017-10-16):
We have updated the function signature to accept acharacter array
, so pleasereset to the default code definitionby clicking on the reload button above the code editor. Also,Run Codeis now available!
class Solution {
public void reverseWords(char[] str) {
int n = str.length;
//1. reverse whole sentence
reverse(str, 0, n - 1);
//2. reverse word by word
int start = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++){
if (str[i] == ' '){
reverse(str, start, i - 1);
start = i + 1;
}
}
//3. reverse last word
reverse(str, start, n - 1);
}
private void reverse(char[] str, int start, int end){
while (start < end){
char temp = str[start];
str[start] = str[end];
str[end] = temp;
start++;
end--;
}
}
}
