5.25 LAB: Longest string (EO)

 

Write a method, findLongest(), that takes two strings as parameters and returns the longest string. If the strings are the same length then return the second string.

Ex. If the input is:

almond pistachio

the method findLongest() returns and then the program outputs:

pistachio

Your program must define the following method:
public String findLongest(String str1, String str2)

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LongestString {

public String findLongest(String str1, String str2) {
/* Type your code here. */
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
LongestString mainObject = new LongestString();
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

String str1;
String str2;
String longest;

str1 = scnr.next();
str2 = scnr.next();

longest = mainObject.findLongest(str1, str2);

System.out.println(longest);
}
}
