Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


function findLongestWordLength(str) {
let arr1 = str.split(" ").reverse();
let arr2 = str.split(" ");
let final = 0;
for(let i = 0;i<arr1.length;i++){
  if(arr1[i].length>arr2[i].length){
    final = arr1[i];
    
   
  }
}
return console.log(final.length);

}

findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog");

Hello!

I’m curious… why are you reversing the string? And comparing the reversed string to the original string?

Welcome, Rafael.

The main issues are:

  1. You are returning console.log()…
  2. What if arr1[i] and arr2[i] are the same length?

Hope this helps
