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.

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLastWord(const char *s)
    {
        int prev = 0;
        int length = 0;
        for (const char* cur = s;  *cur != '\0'; cur++)
        {
            if (*cur == ' ')
            {
                if (length > 0)
                    prev = length;
                length = 0;
            }
            else
                length++;
        }
        return length == 0 ? prev : length;
    }
