Given an input string, reverse the string word by word.
Example:
Input: "the sky is blue",
Output: "blue is sky the".
Note:
A word is defined as a sequence of non-space characters.
Input string may contain leading or trailing spaces. However, your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.
You need to reduce multiple spaces between two words to a single space in the reversed string.
Follow up: For C programmers, try to solve it in-place in O(1) space.
思路
1. split by a single or multiple spaces, making sure remove leading or trailing spaces
2. to reverse, traverse the input from right to left, append each item into StringBuilder
代码
public class Solution {
public String reverseWords(String s) {
// corner case
if(s == null || s.length() == 0) return "";
// s.trim() 去除leading or trailing spaces
// s.split("\\s+")根据a single or multiple spaces 来split字符串
String[] words = s.trim().split("\\s+");
// use StringBuilder to save result
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// to reverse, from right to left
for(int i = words.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
sb.append(words[i]+" ");
}
// 确保结果中去除了leading or trailing spaces
return sb.toString().trim();
}
}
