# --description--
|
||||
|
||||
In this lab, you will build a function that returns the length of the longest word in the provided sentence.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, in the sentence `"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"`, the longest word is `"jumped"`, which has a length of 6.
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** Fulfill the user stories below and get all the tests to pass to complete the lab.
|
||||
|
||||
**User Stories:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. You should create a function named `findLongestWordLength` that takes a string as an argument.
|
||||
2. The function should return the length of the longest word in the string.
|
||||
|
||||
# --hints--
|
||||
|
||||
You should create a function named `findLongestWordLength`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.isFunction(findLongestWordLength);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`findLongestWordLength` should have a single parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.lengthOf(findLongestWordLength, 1);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog")` should return a number.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.isNumber(
|
||||
findLongestWordLength('The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog')
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog")` should return `6`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(
|
||||
findLongestWordLength('The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog'),
|
||||
6
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`findLongestWordLength("May the force be with you")` should return `5`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(findLongestWordLength('May the force be with you'), 5);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`findLongestWordLength("Google do a barrel roll")` should return `6`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(findLongestWordLength('Google do a barrel roll'), 6);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`findLongestWordLength("What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow")` should return `8`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(
|
||||
findLongestWordLength(
|
||||
'What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow'
|
||||
),
|
||||
8
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`findLongestWordLength("What if we try a super-long word such as otorhinolaryngology")` should return `19`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(
|
||||
findLongestWordLength(
|
||||
'What if we try a super-long word such as otorhinolaryngology'
|
||||
),
|
||||
19
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
