Longest Word problem Python

Question

What am I doing wrong with my code here? I am trying to solve the longest word challenge. It isn’t finding the word. Thanks!

txt = input()

def find_longest_word (txt):
longest_word = max(txt, key=len)
return longest_word

print(txt)

Answer 1

txt = input()
longest = max(txt.split(), key = len)
print(longest)

Answer 2

Yeah why key=len part?

Answer 4

Why did you write 'key=len'? What does it mean? Thanks so much guys!!

Answer 5

#welcome to my version)))

text = input()
words = text.split(" ")
max = ""
for i in range(len(words)):
if len(words[i]) > len(max):
max=words[i]
print(max)

Answer 6

txt = input().split()

#your code goes here

word = [word for word in txt]
letter = [len(letter) for letter in word]
place = letter.index(max(letter))
print(txt[place])

Answer 7

you need to convert the input into a list first.
txt = input().split()

Answer 8

I think key=len tells the program to sort the list according to the length of the elements

Answer 9

txt = input()
txt_list = txt.split()

#why key=len
def find_by_value(v):
for key, value in dictionary.items():
if v == value:
return key
#the code for below to make dictionary not empty
for add in txt_list:
dictionary[f"{add}"]=len(add)

dictionary={}

finding_max_length=max(dictionary.values())
print(find_by_value(o))

Answer 10

#My version:))

txt = input()

a = txt.split()
d = []
for item in a:
d = d + [len(item)]

#This gives me a list 'd' with all character lengths

e = max(d)

#Now let's find the word associated with the maximum length

for word in a:
if len(word) == e:
print(word)
