Help with While Loop

[BuhRock]

I am writing a program that uses a while loop to determine the largest number input so far. I have to input 10 numbers in whole. At the end of the loop, it should output the two largest number.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Largest
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		int counter = 1;
		int number;
		int largest = 0;
		int number2;
		
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		while (counter < 10)
		{
			System.out.println("Enter a number");
			number = input.nextInt();
                  
                   // ???
                }

Use conditions to check if number > largest. If it is, push the largest into the second largest (number2 maybe?). Otherwise, check if number > second largest and replace it.

Like this? This displays the largest number of the iteration, I need the two largest of all iterations.

while (counter < 10)
		{
			System.out.println("Enter a number");
			number = input.nextInt();
			
			System.out.println("Enter another number");
			number2 = input.nextInt();
			
			if (number > number2)
				largest = number;
			else
				largest = number2;
				
				counter++;
				
				System.out.println(largest);
			}

What you want to do is have two variables which store the two largest of all iterations. In each iteration you want to go through and see if the number in the current iteration is larger than one of the two. If it is, then you want to change the corresponding variable so it reflects the new largest number.

Also, when posting code, please try to use the correct standard formatting

What do you mean correct standard format? I put it in code brackets.
