How to find the length of the shortest word in a string with Kotlin

Answer 1

fun shortestWordLength(text: String): Int {
    // split on whitespace; filter removes empty strings
    val words = text.split("\\s+".toRegex()).filter { it.isNotEmpty() }

    return words.minOfOrNull { it.length } ?: 0
}

fun main() {
    val input = "Find the shortest word length in this string"
    val result = shortestWordLength(input)

    if (result == 0) {
        println("No words found.")
    } else {
        println("Length of the shortest word: $result")
    }
}




/*
run:

Length of the shortest word: 2

*/
