Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to coding. Here I need to write a method to find the second smallest integer in a given array. What I have managed to put together is a method to find the smallest integer.
I'm thinking I need another for loop to test my 'low' variable to all the integers in the array again, thus finding the next lowest integer. I can put it into words as to what I want, but I have trouble actually coding it. Any words of advice, suggestions or corrections would be awesome. Also, I'd like to figure it myself, so no doing it for me!
take a look...
Code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
int array[] = {7, 9, 6, 8, 13};
int low = 9999999;
for (int counter = 0; counter < array.length; counter++) {
if (low > array[counter]) {
low = array[counter];
counter++;
}
}
System.out.println(array[low]);
}
