Find the longest word in a string using javascript

Question

I\'m trying to find the longest word in a string, but it continually returns the length of the first word. Any ideas?

Here\'s my code:

function findL         


        

Answer 1

I would do something like this:

function longestWord(str){
  return str.match(/\w+/g).reduce((p,c) => p.length > c.length ? p.length:c.length);
}
