Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


function findLongestWordLength(str) {
  let arr = str.split(" ");
  let max = 0;
  for(let i =0 ; i < arr.length ; i++){
    if(arr[i].length > max){
      max = arr[i].length ;
    }
  }
  return max;
}

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

Hi @amit2kk

You’re code works for me when I run it (using chrome). Make a copy of the code, then click the “Reset All Code” button and try running the tests again.

Try closing your browser or refreshing the page (F5). Also, make sure you are not using Internet Explorer or Edge browser, as those have problems working with the FCC site. Use a browser like Chrome.
