2490\. Circular Sentence
Easy
A **sentence** is a list of words that are separated by a **single** space with no leading or trailing spaces.
* For example, `"Hello World"`, `"HELLO"`, `"hello world hello world"` are all sentences.
Words consist of **only** uppercase and lowercase English letters. Uppercase and lowercase English letters are considered different.
A sentence is **circular** if:
* The last character of a word is equal to the first character of the next word.
* The last character of the last word is equal to the first character of the first word.
For example, `"leetcode exercises sound delightful"`, `"eetcode"`, `"leetcode eats soul"` are all circular sentences. However, `"Leetcode is cool"`, `"happy Leetcode"`, `"Leetcode"` and `"I like Leetcode"` are **not** circular sentences.
Given a string `sentence`, return `true` _if it is circular_. Otherwise, return `false`.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** sentence = "leetcode exercises sound delightful"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** The words in sentence are ["leetcode", "exercises", "sound", "delightful"].
- leetcode's last character is equal to exercises's first character.
- exercises's last character is equal to sound's first character.
- sound's last character is equal to delightful's first character.
- delightful's last character is equal to leetcode's first character.
The sentence is circular.
**Example 2:**
**Input:** sentence = "eetcode"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** The words in sentence are ["eetcode"].
- eetcode's last character is equal to eetcode's first character. The sentence is circular.
**Example 3:**
**Input:** sentence = "Leetcode is cool"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** The words in sentence are ["Leetcode", "is", "cool"]. - Leetcode's last character is **not** equal to is's first character. The sentence is **not** circular.
**Constraints:**
* `1 <= sentence.length <= 500`
* `sentence` consist of only lowercase and uppercase English letters and spaces.
* The words in `sentence` are separated by a single space.
* There are no leading or trailing spaces.
