1 Write a C program which reads the standard input and print

1) Write a C program which reads the standard input and prints the longest word found.

A word is considered to be any sequence of letters; and we also allow characters minus (-) and a apostrophe (’ also known as single quote) to be a part of the word if surrounded by letters.

You can assume that the input text will not have a word longer than 1000 characters.

Sample Input:

This is a sample input. A very long word: PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSI longer: PNEU-MONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSI’s not this one: ---PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSI’’’

Sample Output

PNEU-MONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSI’s

Solution

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int w=0,i=0,j=0,l,a[10],big;
stringar string[25],longest[10][20];
clrscr();
printf(\"Enter the string:\");
gets(string);
while(string[i]!=\'\\0\')
{
if(string[i]==\' \')
{
longest[w][j]=\'\\0\';
a[w]=j;
j=0;
w++;
}
else
{
longest[w][j]=string[i];
i++;
}
i++;
}
big=l=0;
for(i=0;i<w;i++)
{
if(big<a[i])
{
big=a[i];
l=i;
}
}
printf(\"The longest word is %s\",longest[1]);
getstring();
}
