Answer 4

I was asked this question in Bloomberg Software Engineer Interview. The one modification I can suggest is rather than splitting with space, traverse character by character until you encounter space. Form words from the interval of previous and current space. This way you will not store a big array in storage. This concern was pointed out by my interviewer as I split the string and he told me that consider a case where the input string is too large or real-time input stream then how this will impact and hence I corrected my solution with traversal character by character. Hope this helps.
