Tell us what’s happening:
Hey, I pass every test in this exercise except for the last one which is:
findLongestWordLength("What if we try a super-long word such as otorhinolaryngology") should return 19.
Could somebody explain why my code doesnt pass the last test?
Your code so far
function findLongestWordLength(str) {
var arr = [];
var leng = [];
var largest = 0;
arr = str.split(" ");
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
leng.push(arr[i].length);
}
for (var j = 0; j <= largest; j++) {
if (leng[j] > largest) {
largest = leng[j];
}
}
console.log(typeof leng);
console.log(leng);
console.log(largest);
return largest;
}
findLongestWordLength("What if we try a super-long word such as otorhinolaryngology");
