A student wants an algorithm to find the hardest spelling word in a list of vocabulary. They define hardest by the longest word. Implement the findLongest method to return the longest String stored in the parameter array of Strings named words (you may assume that words is not empty). If several Strings have the same length it should print the first String in list with the longest length.

For example, if the following array were declared:

String[] spellingList = {"high", "every", "nearing", "checking", "food ", "stand", "value", "best", "energy", "add", "grand", "notation", "abducted", "food ", "stand"};
The method call findLongest(spellingList) would return the String "checking".

Use the runner class to test this method: do not add a main method to your code in the U6_L3_Activity_One. java file or it will not be scored correctly.

Hint - this algorithm is very similar to the algorithms you have seen to find maximum/minimum values in unit 4. You need a variable which will keep track of the longest word in the array (either directly or as the array index of that word). Start this variable off with a sensible value, update it whenever a longer word is found, then return the longest word at the end.

Write a modular program (no classes yet, just from what you learned last year), that allows two players to play a game of tic-tac-toe. use a two-dimensional char array with 3 rows and 3 columns as the game board. each element of the array should be initialized with an asterisk (*). the program should display the initial board configuration and then start a loop that does the following: allow player 1 to select a location on the board for an x by entering a row and column number. then redisplay the board with an x replacing the * in the chosen location. if there is no winner yet and the board is not yet full, allow player 2 to select a location on the board for an o by entering a row and column number. then redisplay the board with an o replacing the * in the chosen location. the loop should continue until a player has won or a tie has occurred, then display a message indicating who won, or reporting that a tie occurred. player 1 wins when there are three xs in a row, a column, or a diagonal on the game board. player 2 wins when there are three ox in a row, a column, or a diagonal on the game board. a tie occurs when all of the locations on the board are full, but there is no winner. input validation: only allow legal moves to be entered. the row must be 1, 2, or 3. the column must be 1, 2 3. the (row, column) position entered must currently be empty (i.e., still have an asterisk in it).
