Thread: i know len() will do it...but how do you..

    i have five strings, eg:
    and i assign the lengths to a
    string array, eg:

    tmp(0) = len(string1)
    tmp(1) = len(string2)
    ...
    ...
    tmp(4) = len(string5)

    is there an easier (hah!) way
    to find the longest string other
    than comparing it to each other
    many times?

    thanks for all help in advance,

    Make for next loop that goes trough all strings and a highscoreval to update the lenght and the string index, and when you're finished you got it
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
