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.
Pre analysis
Seems algorithmic solution is enough for this problem.
Another solution
var maxNumberOfWords = function (sentences) {
let max = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < sentences.length; i++) {
max = Math.max(max, sentences[i].split(" ").length);
}
return max;
};
