                        Solution in C++ :

string solve(string sentence) {
    int N = sentence.size();
    for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < N;) {
        while (i < N && isspace(sentence[i])) i++;
        if (i >= N) break;
        for (j = i; j < N && !isspace(sentence[j]); j++)
            ;
        reverse(sentence.begin() + i, sentence.begin() + j);
        i = j;
    }
    reverse(sentence.begin(), sentence.end());
    return sentence;
}
                    


                        Solution in Java :

import java.util.*;

class Solution {
    public String solve(String s) {
        String temp = "";
        String res = "";

        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            char c = s.charAt(i);
            if ((int) c == 32) {
                res = " " + temp + res;
                temp = "";
            } else {
                temp = temp + c;
            }
        }
        res = temp + res;
        return res;
    }
}
                    


                        Solution in Python : 
                            
class Solution:
    def solve(self, sentence):
        s = sentence.split(" ")
        s = s[::-1]
        return " ".join(s)

Insert a Node at the head of a Linked List

Given a pointer to the head of a linked list, insert a new node before the head. The next value in the new node should point to head and the data value should be replaced with a given value. Return a reference to the new head of the list. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty.

Insert a node at a specific position in a linked list

Given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to insert at a certain position, create a new node with the given integer as its data attribute, insert this node at the desired position and return the head node. A position of 0 indicates head, a position of 1 indicates one node away from the head and so on. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is e

Delete a Node

Delete the node at a given position in a linked list and return a reference to the head node. The head is at position 0. The list may be empty after you delete the node. In that case, return a null value. Example: list=0->1->2->3 position=2 After removing the node at position 2, list'= 0->1->-3.

Reverse a linked list

Given the pointer to the head node of a linked list, change the next pointers of the nodes so that their order is reversed. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty. Example: head references the list 1->2->3->Null. Manipulate the next pointers of each node in place and return head, now referencing the head of the list 3->2->1->Null. Function Descriptio

Compare two linked lists

You’re given the pointer to the head nodes of two linked lists. Compare the data in the nodes of the linked lists to check if they are equal. If all data attributes are equal and the lists are the same length, return 1. Otherwise, return 0. Example: list1=1->2->3->Null list2=1->2->3->4->Null The two lists have equal data attributes for the first 3 nodes. list2 is longer, though, so the lis
