find words greater than i

gistfile1.js

// Write a function filterLongWords() that takes an array of words and an integer i and returns the array of words
// that are longer than i. (if I understand what they are asking for)..
// also, why when I use << - this syntax doesn't work but the .push does??  I thought they both would work?

var i = 5
var wordsGreaterThan = []

function filterLongWords(source) {
  var sentence = source.split(/\s/);
  for ( var j = 0; j < sentence.length; j++) {
    if (sentence[j].length > i) {
      wordsGreaterThan.push(sentence[j]);
    }
  }
  return wordsGreaterThan;
}

console.log(filterLongWords("find the longest word in this phase please"));
var numberOfWords = 2
console.log(numberOfWords === wordsGreaterThan.length)
