The longest_word function is used to compare 3 words. It should return the word with the most number of characters (and the first in the list when they have the same length). Fill in the blank to make this happen.

Answer:

len(word2) >= len(word1) and len(word2) >= len(word3):

Question with blank is below

def longest_word(word1,word2,word3):

   if len(word1) >= len(word2) and len(word1) >= len(word3):

       word = word1

   elif _________________________________________

       word = word2

   else:

       word = word3

   return word

print(longest_word("chair","couch","table"))

print(longest_word("bed","bath","beyond"))

print(longest_word("laptop","notebook","desktop"))

print(longest_word("hi","cat","Cow"))

Explanation

In line 1 of the code word1, word2, and word3 are the parameters used to for the defining the longest_word function. They will be replaced by 3 words to be compared. The code that is filled in the blank is len(word2) >= len(word1) and len(word2) >= len(word3): It is a conditional statement that is true only if the number of characters in the string of word2 is greater than or equal to word1 and word2 is greater than that of word3 .

If statements are used to test for conditions. The statement to complete the given code is:

  • elif len(word2) >= len(word1) and len(word2) >= len(word3)

I've added as an attachment, the code to complete.

The third line to complete is the continuation of the initial if condition. i.e. the third line is an elif statement.

The first if statement tests if word1 has the most number of words.

So, the next elif statement must test for word2 as the word with the most number of words.

So, the statement to complete the code is:

  • elif len(word2) >= len(word1) and len(word2) >= len(word3)
