Just experimenting with publishing a package

function findLongestWordLength(string){
    return (Math.max(...string.split(" ").map(word => word.length)))
  }
  console.log(findLongestWordLength("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"))

  
  //DESCRIPTION
  //string.split(" ") separates the string into arrays of words taking spaces as a separator.ex: ["The", "quick", "brown", ....]
  //then .map(word => word.length) returns the array with lengths of each word. EX:[3,5,...]
  //Finally with Math.max(...string) returns the maximum number from the array of lengths.


// SOLUTION1
// function findLongestWordLength(string){
//     var word = string.split(" ");
//   var max = 0;
//    for (let i=0; i < word.length; i++){
//       if (word[i].length>max){
//         max = word[i].length
//       }
//     }
//     return max;
//   }

  //Take string and convert into array of words
  //Variable to track max length
  //loop over each array of words
  //compare the current word to previous one 
  //return max
