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

+Input: s = "Hello World"
+Output: 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 <= 10⁴
+s consists of only English letters and spaces ' '.
+There will be at least one word in s.
+"""
+
+class Solution:
+    def lengthOfLastWord(self, s: str) -> int:
+        # Remove unnecessary spaces
+        s: str = s.strip()
+
+        # Split by string by spaces to get the words
+        words: List[str] = s.split(' ')
+
+        # Return the length of last word
+        return len(words[-1])
