+/**
+ * The {@code LengthOfLastWord} class provides a utility method to determine
+ * the length of the last word in a given string.
+ *
+ * <p>A "word" is defined as a maximal substring consisting of non-space
+ * characters only. Trailing spaces at the end of the string are ignored.
+ *
+ * <p><strong>Example:</strong>
+ * <pre>{@code
+ * LengthOfLastWord obj = new LengthOfLastWord();
+ * System.out.println(obj.lengthOfLastWord("Hello World"));  // Output: 5
+ * System.out.println(obj.lengthOfLastWord("  fly me   to   the moon  "));  // Output: 4
+ * System.out.println(obj.lengthOfLastWord("luffy is still joyboy"));  // Output: 6
+ * }</pre>
+ *
+ * <p>This implementation runs in O(n) time complexity, where n is the length
+ * of the input string, and uses O(1) additional space.
