I want to create a list and output the longest word which is rockey but I'm getting town as my output. What's with my code. Py 3

myName = [] name = "owusu rockey is the new king in town" new = name.split() myName.append(new) for word in myName: print(max(word))

name = "owusu rockey is the new king in town" print(max(name.split(), key=len)) Read-up on the built-ins here:- https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#built-in-funcs

name = "owusu rockey is the new king in town" words = name.split() maxLen = len(words[0]) #is a max lenght of the word maxInx = 0 #is a index of the biggest word for i in range(len(words)): word = words[i] if len(word) > maxLen: maxInx = i maxLen = len(word) print(words[maxInx])

you probablly printed the max index word. you may need to check the len() of each word and compare them, then print whatever one has the same amount
