Reverse a string

void reverse_str(char *s)
{
    const int len = strlen(s);
    const int mid = len / 2;
    for (int i = 0, j=len-1; i < mid; i++, j--) {
        char c = s[i];
        s[i]   = s[j];
        s[j]   = c;
    }
}

Reverse words in a string

If string to be reversed is "where there is a will there is a way"
Output needed : "way a is there will a is there where"
To reverse the words in a string , we will follow below steps:
1) First, we will reverse each word in the string as "erehw ereht si a lliw ereht si a yaw"
2) Second, we will reverse this string by letter to get the desired output.
We are going to use previous reverse_str function with one more parameter "length" as below:

void reverse_str(char *s ,int len)
{
    int i,j;
	char temp;
	j= len - 1;
	int mid = len/2;
	for(i=0;i<mid;i++,j--)
	{
		temp = s[i];
		s[i] = s[j];
		s[j] = temp;

	}
}

void reverse_words_in_string(char *s)
{
	int i=0;
	int j=0;
/*
 * 1st step
 * In below while loop , string becomes "erehw ereht si a lliw ereht si a yaw"
 */
	while(*s)
	{
		if( *(s+j) == ' ' || *(s+j) == '\0')
		{
			reverse( s+i, j-i );
			i = j+1;
		}
		if( *(s+j) == '\0')
		{
			break;
		}
		j++;
	}
/*
 * 2nd Step
 */
	reverse(s,strlen(s)); 
}

Find the last word in a string

If given string is "Dreams don't work unless you do "
Output needed : "do"
To get the desired output we will use one pointer which points at the end of string and we will transverse it till we get our first blank space between last 2 words in string.

char* last_word_in_string(char *s)
{
	int i=0;
	char* last;
	const int len= strlen(s) -1;
	char *j = s + len;
/*
 * If last letter of string is blank space then it will be avoided.
 */
	if (*(s+len) == ' ')
	{
		j = j-1;
	}
	while(*j)
	{

		if ( *j== ' ')
		{
			j++;
			break;
		}
		j--;
		i++;

	}
	return j;
}
