Question

function longestWord(string) {

    for (var i = 0; i < str.length - 1; i++) {
                


        

Answer 1

This seems to be the easiest way to do this.

function longestWord(string) {
    var str = string.split(" ");
    var longest = 0;
    var word = null;

    str.forEach(function(str) {
        if (longest < str.length) {
            longest = str.length;
            word = str;
        }
    });

return word;

}
