Hi,
I made a little change to Sudhir's code...
/**
*
* @author Salman
*/
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class JavaFirstNameLength {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
String name[] = new String[10];
// String firstName[] = new String[6];
int count=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How
many names would you like to compare"));
String max = "";
for (int i=0;i<count;i++)
{
name[i] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter " +(++i)+ "
name of " +count+ " names");
--i;
}
for (int j=0;j<count;j++)
{
String firstName[] = name[j].split(" ");
if((j==0)||(max.length()<firstName[0].length()))
{
max = firstName[0];
}
}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The longest first name is
"+max);
}
}
