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

here is how I did it.

function findLongestWord(str) {
  var strArray =[];
  var numArray=[];
  var sortedNumArray=[];

  strArray = str.split(" ");

  numArray = strArray.map(function(val){return val.length;});

  sortedNumArray=numArray.sort(function(a,b){return a-b;});

  return sortedNumArray.pop();

}
