i succeeded in finding/printing

Question about the task

Archived

the longest string. but i have no idea how to print/display multiple longest string. even after multiple attempts. plis help me

1. Initialize the list of strings.
2. Read 5 strings from the keyboard and add them to this list.
3. Using a loop, find the longest string in the list.
4. Display the string. If there is more than one, display each on a new line.

Requirements:

In the main method, initialize the Solution class's existing strings field to a new ArrayList<>.
The program should read 5 strings from the keyboard and write them to the list of strings.
The program should display the longest string.
If several strings qualify as the longest, then you need to display each of them on a new line.

package com.codegym.task.task07.task0708; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; public class Solution{ private static ArrayList<String> strings; public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception { //write your code here strings = new ArrayList<String>(5); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); for(int i=0; i<5; i++){ String s = reader.readLine(); strings.add(s); } int lstring = strings.get(0).length(); for(int i=0;i<5;i++){ if(lstring < strings.get(i).length()){ lstring = strings.get(i).length(); } } } }

First iterate over all the strings to determine length of the longest string. Then loop through your strings again and if the length of a string equals the length of the longest string: display it.
