I’m looking for the regex pattern, not the Java code, to match the last word in an English (or European language) sentence. If the last word is, in this case, «hi» then I want to match «hi» and not «hi.»

The regex (w+).$ will match «hi.», whereas the output should be just «hi». What’s the correct regex?

thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/regex$ 
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/regex$ java -jar dist/regex.jar 


trying

matches:
hi


trying
a b cd efg hi.
matches:

package regex;

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String matchesLastWordFine = "a b cd efg hi";
        lastWord(matchesLastWordFine);
        String noMatchFound = matchesLastWordFine + ".";
        lastWord(noMatchFound);
    }

    private static void lastWord(String sentence) {
        System.out.println("nntryingn" + sentence + "nmatches:");
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(\w+)$");
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(sentence);
        String match = null;
        while (matcher.find()) {
            match = matcher.group();
            System.out.println(match);
        }
    }
}

My code is in Java, but that’s neither here nor there. I’m strictly looking for the regex, not the Java code. (Yes, I know it’s possible to strip out the last character with Java.)

What regex should I put in the pattern?

Given a string, the task is to write a Python program to print the last word in that string.

Examples:

Input: sky is blue in color

Output: color

Explanation: color is last word in the sentence.

Input: Learn algorithms at geeksforgeeks

Output: geeksforgeeks

Explanation: geeksforgeeks is last word in the sentence.

Approach #1: Using For loop + String Concatenation

  • Scan the sentence
  • Take an empty string, newstring.
  • Traverse the string in reverse order and add character to newstring using string concatenation.
  • Break the loop till we get first space character.
  • Reverse newstring and return it (it is the last word in the sentence).

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Python3

def lastWord(string):

    newstring = ""

    length = len(string)

    for i in range(length-1, 0, -1):

        if(string[i] == " "):

            return newstring[::-1]

        else:

            newstring = newstring + string[i]

string = "Learn algorithms at geeksforgeeks"

print(lastWord(string))

Output:

geeksforgeeks

Approach #2: Using split() method

  • As all the words in a sentence are separated by spaces.
  • We have to split the sentence by spaces using split().
  • We split all the words by spaces and store them in a list.
  • The last element in the list is the answer

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Python3

def lastWord(string):

    lis = list(string.split(" "))

    length = len(lis)

    return lis[length-1]

string = "Learn algorithms at geeksforgeeks"

print(lastWord(string))

Output:

geeksforgeeks

The time and space complexity for all the methods are the same:

Time Complexity: O(n)

Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Approach #3: Using rfind() method

In this approach, we use the rfind() method to find the index of the last space in the string.
The part of the string from the last space to the end of the string is the last word.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Python3

def lastWord(string):

  index = string.rfind(" ")

  return string[index+1:]

string = "Learn algorithms at geeksforgeeks"

print(lastWord(string))

Time Complexity: O(n)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Approach #4: Using reversed() function:

Algorithm:

  1. Reverse the given string.
  2. Find the index of the first space in the reversed string.
  3. Return the last word in the original string by taking a slice from the original string starting from the end of the
  4. reversed string to the position of the first space in the reversed string.

Python3

def lastWord(string):

    reversed_string = string[::-1]

    index = reversed_string.find(" ")

    return string[-index-1:]

string = "Learn algorithms at geeksforgeeks"

print(lastWord(string)) 

Time Complexity:
The time complexity of the find() function used in the implementation is O(n), where n is the length of the string. The slicing operation in Python also takes O(n) time complexity. Therefore, the overall time complexity of this algorithm is O(n).

Space Complexity:
The space complexity of this algorithm is O(n), where n is the length of the string. This is because we are creating a new string object by reversing the original string. However, the space complexity can be further optimized by iterating over the string from the end to find the last word instead of reversing the entire string

Adverbs can take different positions in a sentence. It depends on the type of sentence and on what role the adverb plays and what words the adverb defines, characterizes, describes.

Most often, we put adverbs after the verb but before adjectives, other adverbs, or participles.

She walked quickly away.
He runs slowly along.

A rule that explains where an adverb is in a sentence.

Place of adverbs in a sentence.

Adverb and three main positions

There are three main positions for an adverb in a sentence:

  • before the verb
  • at the beginning of a sentence
  • at the end of a sentence
Three positions of adverbs in an English sentence.
Adverbs in a sentence.

Let’s look at these positions separately.

At the end

We put an Adverb at the end of a sentence after the predicate and the object.

The water is rising fast.

At the beginning

We put an adverb at the beginning of a sentence before the subject.

Today I have a piano lesson.

An example of a sentence using the adverb today, hands playing the piano.
Today

In the middle

Most often, we put an adverb in the middle of a sentence. But “middle” is not an accurate concept. Where exactly this middle is located, it depends on the words next to which we use the adverb.

  1. In interrogative sentences, we put an adverb between the subject and the main verb.

Did he often go out like that?

  1. If the predicate in the sentence is only one verb, then we put the adverb before the verb.

You rarely agree with me.

  1. If the predicate contains more than one word, then we put the adverb after the modal verb or after the auxiliary verb (if there is a modal verb or auxiliary verb).

You must never do this again.

There are adverbs that we can put before a modal verb or an auxiliary verb.

He surely can prepare for this.

Adverb placement depending on the type of adverb

The place of an adverb depends on what type of adverbs it belongs to. Different adverbs can appear in different places.

Adverbs of manner

We usually use Adverbs of manner:

  • before main verbs
  • after auxiliary verbs
  • at the end of the sentence
  1. If the verb is in the Passive Voice, then we use an adverb between the auxiliary verb and the verb in the third form.
  2. We usually use Adverbs of manner after the verb or after the Object.
  3. We can NOT use an Adverb of manner between the verb and direct object. If the sentence has a verb and a direct object, then we use an adverb of manner before the verb or after the object.
  4. Usually we put an adverb of manner that answers the question HOW after the verb or after the verb and the object.

She held the baby gently.
We are running slowly.

  1. We usually put the adverbs well, fast, quickly, immediately, slowly at the end of a sentence.

I wrote him an answer immediately.
The truck picked up speed slowly.

Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of frequency are adverbs that indicate how often, with what frequency an action occurs.

Adverbs of frequency answer the question “How often?

  1. Most often we put Adverbs of frequency before the main verb.
  2. We can use normally, occasionally, sometimes, usually at the beginning of a sentence or at the end of a sentence.
  3. We usually put Adverbs of frequency that accurately describe the time (weekly, every day, every Saturday) at the end of a sentence.

We have another board meeting on Monday.
I wish we could have fried chicken every week.
Maybe we could do this every month.

  1. We put Adverbs of frequency after the verb to be if the sentence contains the verb to be in the form of Present Simple or Past Simple.

My routine is always the same.
