Answer 1

Your welcome, you could refine to two lines:

words = input().split(' ')
print(max(words, key=len))

Answer 2

Sorry for the long code! I wrote it now and don't have time to make it shorter:

a = 'this is awsome'
b = a.split()
v=[]
for i in range(len(b)):
s = len(b[i])
v.append(s)
e = max(v)
for i in range(len(b)):
if len(b[i])==e:
print(b[i])

Hope u like python :)

I wouldn’t take it personally. It looks like all of the comments have been downvoted!

Although as a guess, yours was probably downvoted due to the length, and the bit “without using any built in functions, apart from these three!!” did make me chuckle :D

Honestly though don’t take it personally, I’ve just gone on a rampage upvoting your posts! Hope this helps, keep smiling!

Nice! Although did you know that you can avoid sorting the list?

If you replace ‘sorted’ with ‘max’ like so:
longest = max(newstr, key = len)

Your variable then contains just the longest word. When printing no need to reference the last element.

Answer 5

Calvin Thomas hi I don't think if your code gives the true output
For example for : wow its awesome will give (wow) as output
