+### longestItem
+
+Takes any iterable object or object with a `length` property and returns the longest one.
+
+The function sorts all arguments by their `length` and returns the first (longest) one.
+
+```js
+const longestItem = (...vals) => [...vals].sort((a, b) => b.length - a.length)[0];
+```
+
+```js
+longestItem ('this', 'is', 'a', 'testcase'); // 'testcase'
+longestItem (...['a', 'ab', 'abc']); // 'abc'
+longestItem (...['a', 'ab', 'abc'], 'abcd'); // 'abcd'
+longestItem([1, 2, 3], [1, 2], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+longestItem([1, 2, 3], 'foobar'); // 'foobar'

-### longestString
-
-Takes an array of strings and returns the longest one.
-The method also accepts combinations of single strings and string arrays
-
-Uses the [rest operator](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/rest_parameters)
-to handle arrays as well as an indefinite amount of single arguments.
-Strings are compared using `Array.reduce()`.
-
-```js
-const longestString = (...strings) => strings.map(str => {
-                          if (Array.isArray(str)) {
-                            const first = str.shift();
-                            strings.concat(str);
-                            return first;
-                          } else {
-                            return str;
-                          }
-                        }).reduce((a, b) => a.length > b.length ? a : b);
