Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>findLongestWordLength(&quot;The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog&quot;)</code> debería devolver un número.
    testString: 'assert(typeof findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog") === "number", "<code>findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog")</code> should return a number.");'
  - text: <code>findLongestWordLength(&quot;The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog&quot;)</code> debería devolver 6.
    testString: 'assert(findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog") === 6, "<code>findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog")</code> should return 6.");'
  - text: <code>findLongestWordLength(&quot;May the force be with you&quot;)</code> debe devolver 5.
    testString: 'assert(findLongestWordLength("May the force be with you") === 5, "<code>findLongestWordLength("May the force be with you")</code> should return 5.");'
  - text: <code>findLongestWordLength(&quot;Google do a barrel roll&quot;)</code> debe devolver 6.
    testString: 'assert(findLongestWordLength("Google do a barrel roll") === 6, "<code>findLongestWordLength("Google do a barrel roll")</code> should return 6.");'

    testString: 'assert(findLongestWordLength("What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow") === 8, "<code>findLongestWordLength("What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow")</code> should return 8.");'
  - text: <code>findLongestWordLength(&quot;What if we try a super-long word such as otorhinolaryngology&quot;)</code> debería devolver 19.
    testString: 'assert(findLongestWordLength("What if we try a super-long word such as otorhinolaryngology") === 19, "<code>findLongestWordLength("What if we try a super-long word such as otorhinolaryngology")</code> should return 19.");'

Challenge Seed

function findLongestWordLength(str) {
  return str.length;
}

findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog");

Solution

function findLongestWordLength(str) {
  return str.split(' ').sort((a, b) => b.length - a.length)[0].length;
}
