function findlongestword(str) {     var length = 0;     var j;     var newstr = str.split(" ");     for(var = 0;i<15;i++){         var lentemp = newstr[i].length();         if( lentemp >length){             length === lentemp ;         }     }     return length ; };   findlongestword("the quick brown fox jumped on lazy dog"); 

i want result length of word largest? i'm new jquery. can me sort this?i'm learning jquery , can't proceed further without finishing this.

you using === comparison operator need assignment operator =. use = instead of ===.

so line length === lentemp ; should length = lentemp ;

also 1 more thing length not function in javascript can't use length() remove braces , use .length.

this complete snippet:

function findlongestword(str) {      var length = 0;      var j;      var newstr = str.split(" ");      console.log(newstr.length);      for(var = 0;i<newstr.length;i++){          var lentemp = newstr[i].length;                    if( lentemp >length){              length = lentemp ;          }      }      return length ;  };     alert(findlongestword("the quick brown fox jumped on lazy dog"));
