leetcode 第58题 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.

思路：从字符串末尾向前遍历，直到遇见第一个不为空的字符，然后开始统计单词长度，知道遇到下一个空字符为止或是遍历到字符串开头。

C++实现：

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLastWord(string s) {
        int len = s.size() - 1;
        int sum = 0;
        while(len > 0 && s[len] == ' '){
            len--;
        }
        for(int i = len;i >= 0;--i){
            if(s[i] != ' ')
                sum++;
            else
                break;
        }
        return sum;
    }
};
