Problem

Reverse the order of words and normalise spaces.

Examples

Example 1
Input: "the sky is blue"
Output: "blue is sky the"
Example 2
Input: " hello world "
Output: "world hello"

Input and output use JSON-compatible values. For linked-list and tree questions, arrays represent the node structure as described above. Your code should implement solve(input).

How to solve Reverse Words in a String

One approach is: Split into words, reverse, and join with one space. The reference code demonstrates this method. Compare the example and edge-case tests, then consider time and space usage.

Time and space complexity

Discuss the dominant operations and any additional data structures used by your implementation.

Practise and improve

Choose JavaScript, TypeScript or Python, complete the starter code, then select Run Tests. Request a hint when you need guidance, or choose View solution and confirm if you would like to study the reference implementation.
