Question about the task

Longest string

Java Syntax, Level 7, Lesson 6

Archived

I have tried it on IDE. It works fine!. IDK why it's not accepting it, help please!

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<String>(); static int flag = 0; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { //write your code here BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String temp = ""; for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) strings.add(br.readLine()); for(int i = 1; i < 5; i++) { temp = strings.get(0); if(strings.get(i).length()>=temp.length()) temp = strings.get(i); } for(int i =0; i < 5; i++) { if(temp.length() == strings.get(i).length()) { System.out.println(strings.get(i)); flag++; } } if(flag == 0){ System.out.println(temp); } } }

You can see my code and find out errors.

public class Solution {
    private static List<String> strings;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        strings = new ArrayList<String>();

        for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            strings.add(br.readLine());
        }

        int sizeOfString = strings.get(0).length();
        for(int i = 1; i < strings.size(); i++){
            if(sizeOfString < strings.get(i).length()){
                sizeOfString = strings.get(i).length();
            }
        }
        for(int i = 0; i < strings.size(); i++){
            if(sizeOfString == strings.get(i).length())
                System.out.println(strings.get(i));
        }
    }
}
