Find the Longest Word in a String Help

Tell us what’s happening:
Hello campers,
I tried to do this exercise a few times before ending up with this solution, and even though the console returns 5, for the phrase “May the force be with you” (which is correct), it keeps saying that its wrong.

Your code so far

var arraycompare = [];
function findLongestWord(str) {
  var array = str.split(" ");
  for (var i=0; array.length>i; i++){
   arraycompare.push(array[i].length);
    
  }
  var sortedarray= arraycompare.sort(function(a, b){
    return b-a;
   
  });
  var result = sortedarray[0];
  return result;
}


findLongestWord("May the force be with you");

Link to the challenge:

Even though you code is correct, you need to put var arraycompare = []; line inside the function. I don’t know why but it has to be there.

It Worked ! Thanks for the Help!
