Given an input string, reverse the string word by word.

For example,
Given s = "the sky is blue",
return "blue is sky the".

Update (2015-02-12):
For C programmers: Try to solve it in-place in O(1) space.

Clarification:

 

  • What constitutes a word?
    A sequence of non-space characters constitutes a word.
  • Could the input string contain leading or trailing spaces?
    Yes. However, your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.
  • How about multiple spaces between two words?
    Reduce them to a single space in the reversed string.
 
Analyse: first reverse the entire string, then have wordBegin as the index for the starting position of the word, find the left and right index of a word, reverse from left to right, copy left to right to wordBegin, set ‘ ‘ to the next of that word, set correct index for wordBegin.
Be aware of the empty string, the length of word equals to 1.
