If you are given the sentence "*you shall not pass*" and tasked with reversing the sentence's word order; then the sentence becomes​ "*pass not shall you*". 

Consider the following illustration, which highlights one possible solution to this problem:

# Implementation

One interesting thing about this problem is that all of its solutions are very language-dependent. Consider the implementations shown below: 

## C++

The following is an implementation of the method described above:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    string str = "you shall not pass";  
    cout << "Original string: " << str << endl;

    // Use the built-in reverse to get char-by-char reversal.
    reverse(str.begin(), str.end()); 

    string buffer = "";
    string ans = "";

    // This for loop then reverses each individual
    // word in the string.
    for (int i=0; i < str.length(); i++)
    {
      if (str[i] != ' ')
      {
        buffer += str[i];
      }
      else
      {
        reverse(buffer.begin(), buffer.end());
        ans += buffer + " ";
        buffer = "";
      }
    }
    // Reversing the last word in the string outside the loop:
    reverse(buffer.begin(), buffer.end());
    ans += buffer;
    cout << "Reversed string: " << ans << endl;
}

## Python
Python has built-in functions to split the string, reverse the order of its words, and then join the words again. This implementation is shown below​:

string = 'you shall not pass'
split_str = string.split(' ') # split on spaces
reversed_str = reversed(split_str) # reverse words
final_str = ' '.join(reversed_str) # join the reversed words back to string
print("Reversed string: " , final_str)

## Java
The solution in Java uses a built-in `split` function that is followed by the string being saved in reverse:

class ReverseWords {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
      String s[] = "you shall not pass".split(" "); 
      String ans = ""; 
      for (int i = s.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { 
        ans += s[i] + " "; 
      } 
      System.out.println("Reversed String: " + ans); 
    }
}
