How to find longest string?

Say you had an array called stringy

String [ ] stringy;

int current = stringy[0].length();

int longest = 0;

for(int i=0;i<stringy.length;i++){

longest = Math.max(current, stringy[i])

}

for(int i=0;i<stringy.length;i++){

int l = stringy[i].length();

if(l == longest){

String longstring = stringy[i];

}

}

this will set "longest" to be the longest string then you need to loop through the array again and match this length with all the stringsn the array when they match you have found the longest string. Probably not the most elegant way of doing it but it should work.>
