There were 3 solutions. Everybody's homework is someone's "what's
this?"
max('asdasfd faop29v8 asejrhjhw awg5w35g aw3g5aw3g
kajhsdkfhlskjdhfakljsdhf awg3 aw3'.split(), key=len)
sorted("a AAA aa a sdfsdfsdfsdf vv".split(' '),key=len)[-1]
sorted("a AAA aa a vv".split(' '),lambda a,b: len

1. Is this homework?
2. It sounds very confusing. Are you trying to find the longest word in
a series of words seperated by spaces? find and rfind will not help
you much.

Your language is not easy to understand, but I think you
Newbie hello onwards to the .py manual asks meantime how the longest
word gets determined?
First word, ok
'a aa aaa aa'[:'a aa aaa aa'.find(' ',1,10)]
'a'
rfind is another subset
>>> 'a aa aaa aa'[:'a aa aaa aa'.rfind('
10 matches
