LintCode_212 Space Replacement

Write a method to replace all spaces in a string with %20. The string is given in a characters array, you can assume it has enough space for replacement and you are given the true length of the string.

You code should also return the new length of the string after replacement.

 Notice

If you are using Java or Python，please use characters array instead of string.

Have you met this question in a real interview? 

Yes

Example

Given "Mr John Smith", length = 13.

The string after replacement should be "Mr%20John%20Smith", you need to change the string in-place and return the new length 17.

Challenge 

Do it in-place.
