conditions 3 and 4 fail

Question about the task

Archived

Hi all, Can you help to understand why it fails on conditions 3 and 4? On the test input it produces the correct output. Input: grandfather grandmother daughter program car Output: grandfather grandmother

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; /* Longest string */ public class Solution { private static List<String> strings = new ArrayList<>();; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { //write your code here BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); // List<String> strings= new ArrayList<>(); int max = 0; for (int i = 0; i< 5; i++){ String s = reader.readLine(); strings.add(s); if (s.length()> max) max = s.length(); } for (int i=0; i< strings.size();i++){ if (strings.get(i).length()== max) System.out.println(strings.get(i)); // System.out.println(s.length()); } } }

line #14 originally looked like this :

private static List<String> strings;

Fix it!
