I'm at a loss for what to do with the homework.  Here is what I have so far 
with the corresponding output.  



import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class OwnJavaArray {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        string[] nameArrayForPerson = new string[];
        int counter;
        int max = 0;
        int totalnumber = 3;

        // Prompt a user to enter numbers
        for(counter = 0; counter < totalnumber; counter++){

            nameArrayForPerson[counter] = Integer.parseInt
                    (JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the family names until 
" + totalnumber + " sets of first and last names are entered"));

            // Compute the greatest name up to this point
            if((counter == 0)||(name[counter] > max))
                max = nameArrayForPerson[counter];

        String[] nameArrayForPerson[counter] = 
person[counter]NameInstance.split(" ");

}

        // Display the name with the greatest length.
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The name with the greatest length 
is " + max);
}

Thanks in advance.
