Modify a sentence by reversing order of occurrences of all Palindrome Words

Last Updated : 02 Mar, 2023

Given a string S representing a sentence, the task is to reverse the order of all palindromic words present in the sentence.

Examples:

Input: S = “mom and dad went to eye hospital”
Output: eye and dad went to mom hospital
Explanation: All palindromic words present in the string are “mom”, “dad” and “eye“, in the order of their occurrence. Reversing the order of their occurrence generates the sequence {“eye”, “dad”, “mom”}. Therefore, the modified string is “eye and dad went to mom hospital”.

Input : S = “wow it is next level”
Output: level it is next wow.

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Iterate over the characters of the string S and split the space-separated words from the sentence using split() and store them in a list, say lis.
Append all the palindromic words to a new list, say newlist, using append() function.
Reverse this new list using reverse() function.
Traverse the list lis and keep replacing the palindromic words with the newlist[i] ( initially, i=0 ) and increment i by 1.
Print the modified sentence

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Java

// Java implementation of
// the above approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG{
     
// Function to check if a
// string S is a palindrome
static boolean palindrome(String str)
{
    int st = 0;
    int ed = str.length() - 1;
 
    while (st < ed)
    {
        if (str.charAt(st) == str.charAt(ed)) 
        {
            st++;
            ed--;
        }
        else
            return false;
    }
    return true;
}
 
// Function to print the modified string
// after reversing the order of occurrences
// of all palindromic words in the sentence
static void printReverse(String sentence)
{
     
    // Stores the palindromic words
    ArrayList<String> newlist = new ArrayList<String>();
    ArrayList<String> lis = new ArrayList<String>();
 
    // Stores the words in the list
    String temp = "";
 
    for(char x: sentence.toCharArray())
    {
        if (x == ' ') 
        {
            lis.add(temp);
            temp = "";
        }
        else
            temp += x;
    }
    lis.add(temp);
 
    // Traversing the list
    for(String x:  lis)
    {
 
        // If current word is a palindrome
        if (palindrome(x))
 
            // Update newlist
            newlist.add(x);
    }
 
    // Reverse the newlist
    Collections.reverse(newlist);
 
    int j = 0;
 
    // Traverse the list
    for(int i = 0; i < lis.size(); i++) 
    {
         
        // If current word is a palindrome
        if (palindrome(lis.get(i))) 
        {
             
            // Update lis[i]
            lis.set(i,newlist.get(j));
 
            // Increment j
            j = j + 1;
        }
    }
 
    // Print the updated sentence
    for(String x : lis) 
        System.out.print(x + " ");
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String sentence = "mom and dad went to eye hospital";
    printReverse(sentence);
}

Output:

eye and dad went to mom hospital

Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(N) because it is using extra space for list newlist and lis
