[LeetCode]Length of Last Word@python

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.

Example:

Input: "Hello World"
Output: 5

思路：先把字符串最后的空格去掉，再统计最后一个词的长度

解法一：用内置python函数

class Solution(object):
    def lengthOfLastWord(self, s):
        """
        :type s: str
        :rtype: int
        """
        return len(s.rstrip().split(' ')[-1])

解法二：不用内置函数

class Solution(object):
    def lengthOfLastWord(self, s):
        """
        :type s: str
        :rtype: int
        """
        length, j = 0, len(s)-1
        while j>=0:
            if s[j] != ' ':
                break
            j = j - 1
        for i in xrange(j, -1, -1):
            if s[i] == ' ':
                return length
            length = length + 1
        return length
