/**
 * Created by gouthamvidyapradhan on 21/03/2017. Given an input string, reverse the string word by
 * word. A word is defined as a sequence of non-space characters.
 *
 * <p>The input string does not contain leading or trailing spaces and the words are always
 * separated by a single space.
 *
 * <p>For example, Given s = "the sky is blue", return "blue is sky the".
 *
 * <p>Could you do it in-place without allocating extra space?
