Question

In PYTHON:

Write a function that receives a sentence and returns the last word of that sentence. You may assume that there is exactly one space between every two words, and that there are no other spaces at the sentence.

To make the problem simpler, you may assume that the sentence contains no hyphens, and you may return the word together with punctuation at its end.

Answer : please up vote or comment for any query i will update the same . Thanks

Note : check attached image for output and program .

Program Plan :

1. declare a function name is getLastWord
2. split the sentence by space
3. sentence.split() return list of string
4. last element of list is end word of sentence
5. return last word

Program Python 3,7 compiler :

def getLastWord(sentence):
List= sentence.split() #split sentence by space
LastWord = str(List[len(List)-1]) #convert last word in string
return LastWord

lastWord = getLastWord("hello tinku jangid how are you.") #store return word

print ( "Last Word is :",lastWord ) #print last word

Program python 2 compiler

def getLastWord(sentence):
List= sentence.split() #split sentence by space
LastWord = str(List[len(List)-1]) #convert last word in string
return LastWord

lastWord = getLastWord("hello tinku jangid how are you.") #store return word

print "Last Word is :",lastWord #print last word

Output :
