151. Reverse Words in a String

Medium

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.

Example 4:

Input: s = “ Bob Loves Alice “

Output: “Alice Loves Bob”

Example 5:

Input: s = “Alice does not even like bob”

Output: “bob like even not does Alice”

Constraints:

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

Solution

function reverseWords(s: string): string {
    return s
        ?.trim()
        ?.replaceAll(/\s{2,}/g, ' ')
        ?.split(' ')
        ?.reverse()
        .join(' ')
}

export { reverseWords }
