create the following JS functions

A. maxWord function

Write and test a function named maxWord that accepts an array of strings and returns the long word in the array.

Example:

maxWord([\"The\", \"albatross\", \"just\", \"ate\", \"your\", \"lunch\"]) => \"Albatross\"

B. maxWordSentence function

Write and test a function named maxWordSentence that accepts a string representing a sentence, and returns the longest word in the sentence. Words in a sentence are delimited by spaces, and sentences do not contain any punctuation. Hint: split().

Example:

maxWordSentence(\"The albatross just ate your lunch\") => \"Albatross\"

Solution

Please find the required program along with its output. Please see the comments against each line to understand the step.

A)

function maxWord(arr) {
   var max = 0;
   var maxWd = \"\";
   for (var i in arr){       //iterate through all elements in array arr
       if(arr[i].length > max){   //if the current elements length is > max
           max = arr[i].length;   //set max to current elements length
           maxWd = arr[i];   //set maxWd to current element
       }
   }
   return maxWd;   //return the maxWd
}

var arr = [\"The\", \"albatross\", \"just\", \"ate\", \"your\", \"lunch\"];

document.write(\"maxWord = \"+maxWord(arr));

-------------------------------------------

OUTPUT:

B)

function maxWordSentence(str){
   var arr = str.split(\" \");   //split the given sentence based on spaces
   return maxWord(arr);   //call and return the value of maxWord function
}

function maxWord(arr) {
   var max = 0;
   var maxWd = \"\";
   for (var i in arr){       //iterate through all elements in array arr
       if(arr[i].length > max){   //if the current elements length is > max
           max = arr[i].length;   //set max to current elements length
           maxWd = arr[i];   //set maxWd to current element
       }
   }
   return maxWd;   //return the maxWd
}

document.write(\"maxWord in sentence = \"+maxWordSentence(\"The albatross just ate your lunch\"));
