# Reverse Words in a String
### Source
- lintcode: [(53) Reverse Words in a String](http://www.lintcode.com/en/problem/reverse-words-in-a-string/)
~~~
Given an input string, reverse the string word by word.
For example,
Given s = "the sky is blue",
return "blue is sky the".
Example
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.

### 题解
1. 由第一个提问可知:题中只有空格字符和非空格字符之分,因此空格字符应为其一关键突破口。
1. 由第二个提问可知:输入的前导空格或者尾随空格在反转后应去掉。
1. 由第三个提问可知:两个单词间的多个空格字符应合并为一个或删除掉。
首先找到各个单词(以空格隔开),根据题目要求,单词应从后往前依次放入。正向取出比较麻烦,因此可尝试采用逆向思维——先将输入字符串数组中的单词从后往前逆序取出,取出单词后即翻转并append至新字符串数组。在append之前加入空格即可。
### C++
~~~
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param s : A string
* @return : A string
*/
string reverseWords(string s) {
if (s.empty()) {
return s;
}
string s_ret, s_temp;
string::size_type ix = s.size();
while (ix != 0) {
s_temp.clear();
while (!isspace(s[--ix])) {
s_temp.push_back(s[ix]);
if (ix == 0) {
break;
}
}
if (!s_temp.empty()) {
if (!s_ret.empty()) {
s_ret.push_back(' ');
}
std::reverse(s_temp.begin(), s_temp.end());
s_ret.append(s_temp);
}
}
return s_ret;
}
};

### 源码分析
1. 首先处理异常,s为空时直接返回空。
1. 索引初始值`ix = s.size()`,而不是`ix = s.size() - 1`,便于处理`ix == 0`时的特殊情况。
1. 使用额外空间`s_ret, s_temp`,空间复杂度为O(n),`s_temp`用于缓存临时的单词以append入`s_ret`。
1. 最后返回`s_ret`。
空间复杂度为O(1)的解法?
1. 处理异常及特殊情况
1. 处理多个空格及首尾空格
1. 记住单词的头尾指针,翻转之
1. 整体翻转
