How to find the length of an array in java

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Creating an array called x.
    String[] x = new String[]{"This", "Should", "return", "4"};
    // "x.length" finds the length of the array "x".
    System.out.println(x.length);
    // returns 4

find the longest word in a String

function findLongestWord(str) {
  // Step 1. Split the string into an array of strings
  var strSplit = str.split(' ');
  // var strSplit = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".split(' ');
  // var strSplit = ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumped", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"];
	
  // Step 2. Initiate a variable that will hold the length of the longest word
  var longestWord = 0;

  // Step 3. Create the FOR loop
  for(var i = 0; i < strSplit.length; i++){
    if(strSplit[i].length > longestWord){ // If strSplit[i].length is greater than the word it is compared with...
	longestWord = strSplit[i].length; // ...then longestWord takes this new value
     }
  }
  /* Here strSplit.length = 9
     For each iteration: i = ?   i < strSplit.length?   i++  if(strSplit[i].length > longestWord)?   longestWord = strSplit[i].length
     1st iteration:        0             yes             1   if("The".length > 0)? => if(3 > 0)?     longestWord = 3
