Output the longest word, You mAy use Split.

Question

txt = input()

print(txt.split(" ")). I tried upto this. Not working

Answer 1

'''You can do it like this'''

txt = input()

wordslist = txt.split(" ")
''' This makes a list of the words'''

longestword = ""

for word in wordslist:
if len(word) > len(longestword):
longestword = word
''' This checks every word of the list and if it is longer than the selected word it overwrites it'''

print (longestword)

Answer 2

Well now you need to compare the length of each word with other word like assuming, max=len(list_of_words[0])

if len(list_of_words[1]>max:
max=len(list_of_words)

Answer 4

max() sorts strings lexicographically by default.
But it has an optional parameter key that you can use like this:

max(input().split(), key=len)

Answer 5

But how do I know how mAny Are there.

Answer 6

First I need to turn the text into A list. Right. Then I would choose the mAx word using mAx().

Answer 7

Wedo Ru by splitting string you can get the length of list which means how many words are there.

Answer 8

txt=input (). And what follow next. Kindly, put the code in order.

Answer 9

I tried print(max(txt.split(" "))), but it is giving me The Shortest word

Answer 10

Yes it will, because you need the longest word (as i showed above how to do that), and max function compares the ascii value of each character for every word.

Answer 11

txt = input()

#your code goes here

totaltxt = txt.split()
longest = 0
for i in range(1, len(totaltxt)):
if len(totaltxt[longest]) < len(totaltxt[i]):
longest = i
print(totaltxt[longest])
