Code Breakdown | |
-------------- | |
line 2: setup a string | |
line 3: create a stack of words, based on the sentence, but splitting the sentence by spaces | |
line 4: loop over items in the stack, - for x in 0 to the length/size of the stack O(n) runtime. | |
line 5: concatinates a space, plus a space, then pops the top word from the words stack | |
line 6: returns everything in the backwards sentence, except for the 1st character. | |
this is becaues we add a space to the start in line 5 | |
