Reverse a given sentence in Java
Can anyone tell me how to write a Java program to reverse a given sentence?
For example, if the input is:
"This is an interview question"
The output must be:
"question interview an is this"
You split the string by the space then iterate over it backwards to assemble the reversed sentence.
String[] words = "This is interview question".split(" ");
String rev = "";
for(int i = words.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i--)
{
rev += words[i] + " ";
}
// rev = "question interview is This "
// can also use StringBuilder:
StringBuilder revb = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = words.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i--)
{
revb.append(words[i]);
revb.append(" ");
}
// revb.toString() = "question interview is This "
String[] words = sentence.split(" ");
String[] reversedWords = ArrayUtils.reverse(words);
String reversedSentence = StringUtils.join(reversedWords, " ");
(using ArrayUtils
and StringUtils
from commons-lang, but these are easy methods to write - just a few loops)
