	public static void Main()
	{
		Console.WriteLine("The longest string is:");
		
		Console.WriteLine(theLongestString(_stringarray));
		
	}
	
	private static string[] _stringarray = new string[]{"fish", "dish", "squish", "a"};
	
	private static string theLongestString (string[] aStringArray) {
		string current = "";
		foreach (string str in aStringArray){
			if (current.Length < str.Length) {
				current = str;
			}
		}
