problem with my code (FOR LOOPS) neeed help plZ
hello dear , good morning ^^
i have a problem with my code !~
coz i have a task to prepare a code for a program to find the two largest values of the 10 values entered.
PHP Code:
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
int largest1 ;// largest number
int number; // user input
int counter; // number of values entered
int largest2 = 0 ;// the second largest number
System.out.println( "Enter the number 1:" );
number = input.nextInt();
largest1=number;
counter=2;
while(counter<=10){
System.out.println( "Enter the number "+counter+":" );
number = input.nextInt();
if((number>largest1))
largest2=largest1;
largest1=number;
counter++ ;
}
System.out.println("largest1 "+largest1 );
System.out.println(largest2 +"largest2");
}
}
what the wrong with my code
for example ;;
if i entered for example 10 numbers
1 4 6 88 22 99 11 101 99 26
and then the output will be
largest1 = 101
largest2 = 99
help me , i'm beginner in java ^^

Isn't that exactly what it should output?

You tell us. What does it do instead of what you expect it to do? Have you stepped through this with a debugger, or at least added some print statements? Recommended reading: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...t-println.html
Hint: Curly brackets are your friend.

I don't understand your question. You already do have a while loop in your code.

Big problem with an assignment.
For some reason, when I input 0, 6, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 into this program, it tells me my largest is 9 and second is 0.
Any Java experts here that can tell me how to fix this to have 8 as the result of 2nd largest?
Re: problem with my code (FOR LOOPS) neeed help plZ
give any code that tells me the 2nd largest number is 8 not 0

That's not how this works. That's academic dishonesty and is extremely rude.
I already gave you several hints that you have ignored. Respond to them, and we'll go from there. Use a debugger or follow the directions in the link I gave you.
Re: problem with my code (FOR LOOPS) neeed help plZ
Keep the statements under if condition in braces. Like below
if((number>largest1)){
largest2=largest1;
largest1=number;
}

Consider this a friendly warning.
Re: problem with my code (FOR LOOPS) neeed help plZ
The logic is wrong, not just the if statement.
Ironically, correcting the if statement may give the correct result for the particular case, but the code will be wrong.
A good idea is to also test with numbers sorted in the opposite direction, like:
1, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 0
That will go wrong even if you fix the if
