## [58. Length of Last Word](https://leetcode.com/problems/length-of-last-word/)

### Description

Given a string `s` consisting of words and spaces, return *the length of the **last** word in the string.*

A **word** is a maximal substring consisting of non-space characters only.

**Example 1:**

```
Input: s = "Hello World"
Output: 5
Explanation: The last word is "World" with length 5.
```

**Example 2:**

```
Input: s = "   fly me   to   the moon  "
Output: 4
Explanation: The last word is "moon" with length 4.
```

**Example 3:**

```
Input: s = "luffy is still joyboy"
Output: 6
Explanation: The last word is "joyboy" with length 6.
```

**Constraints:**

* `1 <= s.length <= 10^4`
* `s` consists of only English letters and spaces `' '`.
* There will be at least one word in `s`.

### Solution

#### Approach #0

```go
func lengthOfLastWord(s string) int {
    l := strings.Split(strings.Trim(s, " "), " ")
    return len(l[len(l)-1])
}
```
