Simple String Reversal in Java

The challenge

In this challenge, we are going to reverse a string while maintaining the spaces (if any) in their original place.

For example:

solve("our code") = "edo cruo"
-- Normal reversal without spaces is "edocruo". 
-- However, there is a space at index 3, so the string becomes "edo cruo"

solve("your code rocks") = "skco redo cruoy". 
solve("andrew") = "werdna"

More examples in the test cases. All input will be lower case letters and in some cases spaces.

The solution in Java code

Option 1:

class Solution {
    public static String solve(String s) {  
      //string to return
      String reversed = "";
      //removes all whitespace
      String noSpace = s.replaceAll(" ", "");
      //remembers index of which character to use
      int noSpaceCount = noSpace.length()-1;
      
      //for each character in s
      for(int i = 0;i<s.length();i++) {
        
        if(s.charAt(i)==' ') { //if it's a space, add a space
          reversed +=" ";
        } else {
          //if not, then add one of characters from the end of the string
          reversed += String.valueOf(noSpace.charAt(noSpaceCount));
          //decrements to next character to add
          noSpaceCount --;
        }
        
      }
      
      return reversed;
      
    }
}

Option 2:

import java.util.stream.IntStream;
class Solution {
    public static String solve(String s) {
        StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder(s.replaceAll(" ", "")).reverse();
        IntStream.range(0, s.length())
                .filter(i -> s.charAt(i) == ' ')
                .forEach(j -> str.insert(j, ' '));
        return str.toString();
    }
}

Option 3:

import java.util.ArrayList;

class Solution{
    public static String solve(String s) {  
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(s).reverse();
        for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            if(sb.charAt(i) == ' ') sb.deleteCharAt(i);
            if(s.charAt(i) == ' ') sb.insert(i, " ");
        }
      
      return sb.toString();
     }
}
