-Here's how the reduce method works:
-  * **maxWord**: The accumulator that keeps track of the longest word found so far. It is initialized with an empty string ''
-  * **word**: The current word being processed in the array.
-  * **The ternary operator (condition) ?** valueIfTrue : valueIfFalse is used to compare the length of the current word with the length of maxWord. If the current word is longer, it becomes the new value of maxWord; otherwise, maxWord remains unchanged.
-  * The final value of **maxWord**, once all the words in the array have been processed, is the longest word, and that's what the reduce method returns.
