Reverse Words in a String

Given an input string s, reverse the order of the words.

Given an input string s, reverse the order of the words.

A word is defined as a sequence of non-space characters. The words in s will be separated by at least one space.

Return a string of the words in reverse order concatenated by a single space.

Note that s may contain leading or trailing spaces or multiple spaces between two words. The returned string should only have a single space separating the words. Do not include any extra spaces.

Follow-up: If the string data type is mutable in your language, can you solve it in-place with O(1) extra space?

Example 1

Input: s = "the sky is blue"

Output: "blue is sky the"

Example 2

Input: s = " hello world "

Output: "world hello"

Explanation: Your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.

Example 3

Input: s = "a good example"

Output: "example good a"

Explanation: You need to reduce multiple spaces between two words to a single space in the reversed string.

Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length <= 10^4
  • s contains English letters (upper-case and lower-case), digits, and spaces ' '.
  • There is at least one word in s.
