Hello!

How to me get the most bigger string of that table with code?

Code: Select all

local function getLongestString (list)
  local length, longestStr = 0
  for i, str in ipairs (list) do
    local len = str:length ()
    if len > length then
      longestStr = str
    end
  end
  return longestStr
end

So we will get this code:

Code: Select all

--just one modification
function add.getLongestString(list)
  local length, longestStr = 0
  for i, str in ipairs (list) do
    local len = #str
    if len > length then
      length = len
      longestStr = str
    end
  end
  return longestStr
end

That worked to me! Thank you
