the personNameInstance is for contain the name of the person and this
variables is not initialized with the names of persons (you need load
the names in the dialog box in this variables), and the
nameArrayForPerson is for split the first and the second name in this
array of string, look this code:
String person1NameInstance,person2NameInstance;
String[] nameArrayForPerson1;
String[] nameArrayForPerson2;
person1NameInstance = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your
name");
person2NameInstance = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your
name");
nameArrayForPerson1 = person1NameInstance.split(" ");
nameArrayForPerson2 = person2NameInstance.split(" ");
// Get the lengths of strings using length() instance (non-static)
method
int lengthOfFirstNameOfPerson1 = nameArrayForPerson1[0].length();
int lengthOfFirstNameOfPerson2 = nameArrayForPerson2[0].length();
// Compare the lengths of the first names between person1 and
person2
if (lengthOfFirstNameOfPerson1 > lengthOfFirstNameOfPerson2){
System.out.println(nameArrayForPerson1[0] +
" has longer first name than " +
nameArrayForPerson2[0]);
}
else
System.out.println(nameArrayForPerson2[0] +
" has longer first name than " +
nameArrayForPerson1[0]);
}
