557. Reverse Words in a String III

Description

Given a string s, reverse the order of characters in each word within a sentence while still preserving whitespace and initial word order.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "Let's take LeetCode contest"
Output: "s'teL ekat edoCteeL tsetnoc"

Example 2:

Input: s = "Mr Ding"
Output: "rM gniD"

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 5 * 104
  • s contains printable ASCII characters.
  • s does not contain any leading or trailing spaces.
  • There is at least one word in s.
  • All the words in s are separated by a single space.

Solutions

Solution 1: Simulation

We can split the string $\textit{s}$ into an array of words $\textit{words}$ by spaces, then reverse each word and concatenate them back into a string.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the string $\textit{s}$.
