int length() funnction in string class gives you length of the string. Use it to find the length of a string and compare using loop. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_string_length.htm

3. The program should display the longest string. The condition states that the program should display the longest string under the array of strings. Think about how you can check each element of your array of strings. While inside an element, check for its length and record it somewhere, then move on to the next element and record the length of it again IF it is bigger then the previous length record.
