## Description
<div class="description">
<div><p>Given an input string <code>s</code>, reverse the order of the <strong>words</strong>.</p>

<p>A <strong>word</strong> is defined as a sequence of non-space characters. The <strong>words</strong> in <code>s</code> will be separated by at least one space.</p>

<p>Return <em>a string of the words in reverse order concatenated by a single space.</em></p>

<p><b>Note</b> that <code>s</code> may contain leading or trailing spaces or multiple spaces between two words. The returned string should only have a single space separating the words. Do not include any extra spaces.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> s = "the sky is blue"
<strong>Output:</strong> "blue is sky the"
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> s = "  hello world  "
<strong>Output:</strong> "world hello"
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> s = "a good   example"
<strong>Output:</strong> "example good a"
<strong>Explanation:</strong> You need to reduce multiple spaces between two words to a single space in the reversed string.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 4:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> s = "  Bob    Loves  Alice   "
<strong>Output:</strong> "Alice Loves Bob"
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 5:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> s = "Alice does not even like bob"
<strong>Output:</strong> "bob like even not does Alice"
</pre>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= s.length &lt;= 10<sup>4</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>s</code> contains English letters (upper-case and lower-case), digits, and spaces <code>' '</code>.</li>
	<li>There is <strong>at least one</strong> word in <code>s</code>.</li>
</ul>

## Solution(Python)
```Python
class Solution:
    def reverseWords(self, message: str) -> str:
        result = ""
        current = len(message) - 1

        while current >= 0:
            # move to the start of word
            checkpoint = current + 1
            while current >= 0 and message[current] != " ":
                current -= 1

            for temporal in range(current + 1, checkpoint):
                result += message[temporal]

            # move spaces
            while current >= 0 and message[current] == " ":
                current -= 1

            # add spaces
            if current != -1 and len(result):
                result += " "

        return result
