#151 Reverse Words in a String

APPROACH

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.

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.
