Javascript Challenge #7: Find Longest Word in Sentence

In this challenge, you have to create a function which should be able to find a longest word in a string.

const myString = `A sentence is a textual unit consisting..................... of one or more words that are grammatically linked`;


function findLongestWord(msg){
    msg = msg.split(' ');
    msg = msg.map(word => word.replace(/\./g, ''));    
    let longest = msg.reduce((current, previous)=>{
        return current.length > previous.length ? current : previous;
    }, "");
    return longest;
}

const result = findLongestWord(myString);

console.log(result);
