Reverse Words in a String

EasyPython

Problem

Reverse all the words in a string, for example: How are you -> woH era uoy.

Implement reverse_words(s), which receives a string containing words separated by single spaces and returns a string where the characters in each word are reversed, while the word order remains unchanged. Punctuation should be treated as a regular character.

Input and Output

  • Input: a string s.
  • Output: a string with each word reversed.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(s) <= 10^5
  • Words are separated by single spaces.
  • The input may contain letters, digits, spaces, and punctuation.
  • The output must preserve the word order and separators.
