00122436485 can be broken down as 2 series interleaved:



Next number in my opinion should be 10 or next digit should be 1

No 4, If I understand correctly is to simply take a sentence, parse it and print the "words" in the reverse order.
I would suggest splitting it using space as a delimiter and storing it in a List. You could easily reverse this list using Collections.reverse(list); and then print it back.
