static int detlongeststring (string a[30])

{

int i=0, k=0;

int len1 = strlen (a[0];

for (i=0; i<=30; i++)

{

len=strlen (a[i]);

if (len1>=len)

{

continue ();

}

else

{

k=i;

}

}

cout<<"The longest string is:"<
cout<<" The string length is:"<
return strlen (a[i]);

}

We are passing array of strings as argument to function. Now we compare strlen of each string with all and find the longest string, and we store the index in K. Then we print this string that is the lengthiest, and which has index k definitely.
