The challenge
Complete the solution so that it reverses all of the words within the string passed in.
Example:
ReverseWords.reverseWords("The greatest victory is that which requires no battle");
// should return "battle no requires which that is victory greatest The"
The solution in Java code
Option 1 (using StringBuilder):
public class ReverseWords{
public static String reverseWords(String str){
String[] words = str.split(" ");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i=words.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
sb.append(words[i]).append(" ");
}
return sb.toString().trim();
}
}
Option 2 (using Arrays):
import java.util.*;
public class ReverseWords{
public static String reverseWords(String str){
List Words = Arrays.asList(str.split(" "));
Collections.reverse(Words);
return String.join(" ", Words);
}
}
Option 3 (using streams):
import java.util.Arrays;
public class ReverseWords{
public static String reverseWords(String str){
return Arrays.stream(str.split(" ")).reduce((x, y) -> y+" "+x).get();
}
}
