longest

Write a function longest(data) that returns the longest string in the list of strings named data. For example, longest([’Tris’, ’Tobias’, ’Caleb’]) should return ’Tobias’. If there is a tie it should return the first word of that length.

longest(['some', 'lengthy', 'words', 'and', 'some', 'short']) → 'lengthy'
longest(['a', 'b', 'c', '', 'd', 'e']) → 'a'
longest(['ab', 'abb', 'a', 'babbbbb', 'abab', 'a']) → 'babbbbb'
