We can use max on a Stream to find the longest string from Array, following code shows how to do that.
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;
public class JavaArrays {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] array = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "aaa", "ab" };
String result = Arrays.stream(array)
.max(Comparator.comparingInt(String::length))
.get();
System.out.println(result);
}
}
Outout:
aaa
