58. 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：倒着遍历字符串

class Solution {
public:
int lengthOfLastWord(string s) {
int len = 0, tail = s.length() - 1;
while (tail >= 0 && s[tail] == ' ') tail--;
while (tail >= 0 && s[tail] != ' ') {
len++;
tail--;
}
return len;
}
};
