I think the best way you can obtain the most lengthy string in an array is this:
const mostLengthy = someArray .reduce((acc, i) => i.length > acc.length ? i : acc )
useful :)
That's a good one, although it might be useful to first filter out nulls and undefineds from the array:
null
undefined
const mostLengthy = someArray .filter(item => item) .reduce((acc, i) => i.length > acc.length ? i : acc);
You can also do this way I believe (sort by the length of the words in descending order, then pick the first one).
const mostLengthy = someArray.sort((x, y) => y.length - x.length)[0]
Maybe it's more understandable ? But I agree reduce is great :).
