Problem statement

Prepare a notification of the given message which will be displayed on a mobile device. The message is made of words separated by single spaces. The length of the notification is limited to K characters. If the message is too long to be displayed fully, some words from the end of the message should be cropped, keeping in mind that:

  • the notification should be as long as possible;
  • only whole words can be cropped;
  • if any words are cropped, the notification should end with '...'; the dots should be separated from the last word by a single space;
  • the notification may not exceed the K-character limit, including the dots.

    • If all the words need to be cropped, the notification is '...' (three dots without a space).
