Sooperub Algorithm for Simple Sum...Thankyou

[sharukhsm]

How does the algorithm know we came to an end? or How does it break out of the loop at index 6?

[kaeshur_koder]

solved it with just 1 while loop

def count_last_word_len(s):
total = 0
last_space = True
i = len(s) - 1
while i>=0:
if (s[i] == ' ' and (last_space == True)):
i-=1
elif(s[i] != ' '):
last_space = False
total+=1
i-=1
else:
break
return total
print(count_last_word_len(" fly me to the moon "))
