The above implementation fails if there are two spaces together, something like "Hi there wassup" , there are two spaces after "there".

IMO this is what they are looking for, more often than not QC is more interested in your C skills rather than algorithmic skills.

char a[] = "Hi there wassup Hi there wassup";
int len = 31, i=0;
while( i < len)
{
if(a[i] == ' ')
{
memmove( (void*)&a[i], (void*)&a[i+1], len - i+1);
}
i++;
}

is this linear time ?

parsing through characters is fine, what about memmove ?
