    Default java program help

    i am trying to write a main method program that uses a while loop to repeatedly input four integers. the body of the while loop should break out of the loops if any of the values inputted are negative, should invoke second() to determine the 2nd highest of the 4 values read, and should print the 2nd highest value. when the loops ends, the program should print the number of sets of 4 values read, including the one that contained the negative value. i have no idea where to begin except public static int second(int a, int b, int c, int d).....please help. i just need some guidance...

    If you need guidance, post the code you have and indicate the problem (compile time error / run time error / program runs but doesn't do what you want it to / computer goes up in a puff of bright green smoke).

    If you're expecting someone here to write your code for you so you can cheat your way through whatever course you're doing, forget about it.

    i am not expecting for anyone to write the program for me. ill rather do it myself so that i can learn. im a beginner, so i was simply asking for some guidance. so far, this is what i have...

    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Lab1Part3 {
    	public static int second(int a, int b, int c, int d)
     
     
    	public static void main (String[] args) {
    	System.out.printf("Input a first interger: ");
    	System.out.printf("Input a second integer: ");
     	System.out.printf("Input a third integer: ");
      	System.out.printf("Input a last integer: ");
      	Scanner getInput = new Scanner(System.in);
     
    	int i=0
    	while i<a.length {
    		if i<0
    			break
    		}
    	i++
    	}
    }
