Reverse a Sentence by Words | Dataford Interview Questions

Genesys Cloud can transform message text for a text-processing workflow. Given a sentence, reverse the order of its words and reverse the characters within every word.

Words are separated by one or more whitespace characters. Treat each maximal non-whitespace sequence as a word, discard leading and trailing whitespace, and return the transformed words joined by a single space. Punctuation attached to a word is treated as part of that word.

Formal Specification

Implement reverse_sentence(sentence), where sentence is a string. Return a string containing the words in reverse order, with the characters of each word reversed.

Constraints

0 <= len(sentence) <= 10^5
Words are maximal sequences of non-whitespace characters
