Java/C++ Program to reverse the words in a sentence

As an attempt to preparation for data structures and ready-to-code for programs, I thought I will start coding on my own and publish it here. Any discrepancies, bugs if you may find , plz leave a comment.

So, this is a program in java written to reverse the words in a sentence. I thought this was pretty easy using inbuilt method such as split() and StringBuilder(). I could have 'not' used them, but again its writing the whole JFC (Java Foundation Class) implementation. Screw it :), I am on a journey to write lots of programs such as this...

package dsa.stringmanipulation;

public class SentenceReverser {

    public static final String SPACE = " ";

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        SentenceReverser rev = new SentenceReverser();
        System.out.println(rev
                .printReversed("This  is my first attempt at a program in ds"));
    }

    public String printReversed(String inputText) {
        if (inputText != null && inputText.length() > 0) {
            int lenOfText = inputText.length();
            if (lenOfText == 1) {
                return inputText;
            } else {
                String[] texts = inputText.split(SPACE);
                StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
                for (int i = texts.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
                    output.append(texts[i]).append(SPACE);
                }
                output.append(texts[0]);
                return output.toString();
            }
        } else {
            System.out.println("Invalid Sentence");
            return null;
        }
    }
}


Now, for the code in C++,

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void str_rev(char s[], int start, int end)
{
        int len = end - start;
        for(int i=0;i<len/2;i++)
        {
                char t = s[i+start];
                s[i+start] = s[end-i-1];
                s[end-i-1] = t;
        }
}

int main()
{
        char a[] = "my name is prabhu";
        cout << "[" << a << "] ==> ";

        str_rev(a,0,strlen(a));

        int start_index = 0;
        for(size_t i=0;i<=strlen(a);i++)
        {
                if(a[i] == ' ' || a[i] == '\0')
                {
                        str_rev(a,start_index,i);
                        start_index = i+1;
                }
        }
        cout << "[" << a << "]" << endl;
}
