Length of Last Word

Given a string s consists of upper/lower-case alphabets and empty space characters ' ', return the length of last word in the string.

If the last word does not exist, return 0.

Note: A word is defined as a character sequence consists of non-space characters only.

For example, 
Given s = "Hello World",
return 5.

问题的思路就是从后向前找，从尾部第一个不是空格的位置向前找，在找到下一个空格之前 ，若其间的部分都是字符，则返回其长度。

class Solution {
public:
    bool isChar(char c)
    {
        return (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z' || c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z');
    }
    //notice: leading space & posting space.
    int lengthOfLastWord(const char *s) {
        int str_len = strlen(s);
        if(str_len == 0) return 0;
        int word_end = str_len - 1;
        //skip the posting space.
        while(word_end >= 0 && *(s + word_end) == ' ') --word_end;
        if(word_end < 0) return 0;
        
        int i = 0;//i is the lenght of the last word.
        while(word_end - i >= 0 && isChar(*(s + word_end - i))) ++i;
        return i;
    }
};
