​

Answer 1

Answer:

// C++ program to find the number of

// charters in the longest word in

// the sentence.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int LongestWordLength(string str)

{

int n = str.length();

int res = 0, curr_len = 0, i;

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

// If current character is

// not end of current word.

if (str[i] != ' ')

curr_len++;

// If end of word is found

else {

res = max(res, curr_len);

curr_len = 0;

}

}

// We do max one more time to

// consider last word as there

// won't be any space after

// last word.

return max(res, curr_len);

}

// Driver function

int main()

{

string s =

"I am an intern at geeksforgeeks";

cout << LongestWordLength(s);

return 0;

}
