Given a text as input, find and output the longest word. Sample Input this is an awesome text Sample Output awesome

Question

Please help me
What is wrong?

txt = input()

#your code goes here
list=f"{txt}".split(" ")
print (max(list))

Answer 1

max() can find the longest word and is working properly with strings <<< (Slick)

max can take a key argument, that has to be a function. iterable (list of strings) are parsed and comparison is based on its return value from the function that is used. in our case it has to be 'len':

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

Answer 2

max() doesn't work like that for characters. You'd need to get the length of each word and compare them. Then print the word with the largest length

Answer 3

dic={len(w):w for w in txt.split()}
#find Max key and get its item
# problems: u only last longest word.

txt = input();

#tu código va aquí

Answer 6

Undertandable thanks

Answer 7

My code is:

txt = input()

#List of words
string = txt.split(' ')
# print(string)

#Qty of strings
# print(range(len(string)))

#List of each word length
q = [len(string[i]) for i in range(len(string))]
# print(q)

#Index of the longest word
# print(q.index(max(q)))
ilw = q.index(max(q))

#The longest word
print(string[ilw])

Answer 8

My code is:

txt=input()
i=" "
for w in txt.split(): #Here it is checked each word in the splitted word from txt-(input)
if (len(w)>len(i)): #It's checked if the length of the word is bigger than the previous one
i=w #If the value is bigger in letters, the value is replaced by the highest one in the variable i
print (i) #The highest value word is returned

Hope it helps up!
