Welcome to the Longest Word in Mathematica page! Here, you'll find the source code for this program as well as a description of how the program works.

Current Solution

(* Code *)

(* Trivial: *)

longestWord = s \[Function] Max @@ StringLength /@ StringSplit[s];

(* The outer function provides the 'user interface' (e.g., the string parsing): *)

longestWordMain = Function[{s},
   Module[{e = "Usage: please provide a string"},
    Catch[
     longestWord @
      If[StringLength[s] > 0, s, Throw[e]]]]];


(* Valid Tests *)

Print /@ longestWord /@ {
    "May the force be with you",
    "Floccinaucinihilipilification",
    "Hi,\nMy name is Paul!"
    };


(* Invalid Tests *)
