Discussion on: Find longest word in a given string

[David de los Santos Boix]

Same thing, but using a reducer instead of sorting.

const getLongestWordOf = (sentence = '') => {
  return sentence
    .split(' ')
    .reduce((longest, current) => {
      return current.length > longest.length ? current : longest;
    })

}

getLongestWordOf('I am just another solution to the same problem');

EDIT: This approach seems to be faster than the sorting one! jsperf.com/longestwordjs/1

This is what I thought to do as well 😄

Good one, didn't think of reduce 👏
