Leetcode: https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-number-of-words-found-in-sentences/
Problem:
A sentence is a list of words that are separated by a single space with no leading or trailing spaces.
You are given an array of strings sentences
, where each sentences[i]
represents a single sentence.
Return the maximum number of words that appear in a single sentence.
Example 1:
Input: sentences = ["alice and bob love leetcode", "i think so too", "this is great thanks very much"]
Output: 6
Explanation:
- The first sentence, "alice and bob love leetcode", has 5 words in total.
- The second sentence, "i think so too", has 4 words in total.
- The third sentence, "this is great thanks very much", has 6 words in total.
Thus, the maximum number of words in a single sentence comes from the third sentence, which has 6 words.
Example 2:
Input: sentences = ["please wait", "continue to fight", "continue to win"]
Output: 3
Explanation: It is possible that multiple sentences contain the same number of words.
In this example, the second and third sentences (underlined) have the same number of words.
Constraints:
1 <= sentences.length <= 100
1 <= sentences[i].length <= 100
sentences[i]
consists only of lowercase English letters and' '
only.sentences[i]
does not have leading or trailing spaces.- All the words in
sentences[i]
are separated by a single space.
Solution:
func mostWordsFound(sentences []string) int {
max := 0
for word := range sentences{
if len(strings.Split(sentences[word], " ")) > max{
max = len(strings.Split(sentences[word], " "))
}
}
return max
}
