write a program , how to find out the longest word in a sentence using java

Hi Friend,
Try the following code:
import java.util.*;
class LongestWord
{
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter string: ");
String str=input.nextLine();
String stringArray[] = str.split("\\s");
public String compare(String st1, String st2){
if(st1.length()>st2.length()){
return st1;
}
else{
return st2;
}
}
LongestWord(){
String word = "";
for(int i=0;i<stringArray.length;i++){
if(i==0){
word = stringArray[0];
}
word = compare(word, stringArray[i]);
}
System.out.println("Longest word = " + word);
}
public static void main(String []args){
new LongestWord();
}
}
Thanks
