Sorting the Sentence Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/sorting-the-sentence/solutions/ A sentence is a list of words that are separated by a single space with no leading or trailing spaces. Each word consists of lowercase and uppercase English letters. A sentence can be shuffled by appending the 1-indexed word position to each word then rearranging the words in the sentence. For example, the sentence "This is a sentence" can be shuffled as "sentence4 a3 is2 This1" or "is2 sentence4 This1 a3". Given a shuffled sentence s containing no more than 9 words, reconstruct and return the original sentence. ## Example 1: ``` Input: s = "is2 sentence4 This1 a3" Output: "This is a sentence" Explanation: Sort the words in s to their original positions "This1 is2 a3 sentence4", then remove the numbers. ``` ## Example 2: ``` Input: s = "Myself2 Me1 I4 and3" Output: "Me Myself and I" Explanation: Sort the words in s to their original positions "Me1 Myself2 and3 I4", then remove the numbers. ``` ## Constraints: ``` 2 <= s.length <= 200 s consists of lowercase and uppercase English letters, spaces, and digits from 1 to 9. The number of words in s is between 1 and 9. The words in s are separated by a single space. s contains no leading or trailing spaces. ``` ## Solution Time Complexity: O(n) Space Complexity: O(n) ``` java class Solution { public String sortSentence(String s) { StringBuilder build = new StringBuilder(); String[] strArray = s.split(" "); String[] resArray = new String[strArray.length]; for(String str: strArray) { resArray[str.charAt(str.length() -1) - '1'] = str.substring(0, str.length() -1); } for(int i =0; i < resArray.length; i++) { build.append(resArray[i]); if(i != resArray.length - 1){ build.append(" "); } } return build.toString(); } } ```
