(Find the Two Largest Numbers) Using an approach similar to that in Exercise 3.17, find the two largest values among the 10 numbers. [Note: You must input each number only once.]

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

```
// Find the two largest numbers.
#include
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int counter = 0; // counter for 10 repetitions
int number; // current number input
int largest; // largest number found
int secondLargest; // second-largest number found

cout << "Enter the first number: "; // prompt for first number
cin >> largest; // get first number

cout << "Enter next number: "; // prompt for second number
cin >> number; // get second number

// compare second number with first number
if ( number > largest )
{
secondLargest = largest;
largest = number;
} // end if
else
secondLargest = number;

counter = 2; // set counter

// get rest of the numbers and find the largest and secondLargest
while ( counter < 10 )
{
cout << "Enter next number: "; // prompt for next number
cin >> number; // get next number

// compare current number with largest and secondLargest
if ( number > largest )
{
secondLargest = largest;
largest = number;
} // end if
else if ( number > secondLargest )
secondLargest = number;

counter++; // increment counter
} // end while

// display largest two numbers
cout << "\nLargest is " << largest
<< "\nSecond largest is " << secondLargest << endl;
} // end main
```
