2nd max of the list in c code example
Example: find second max element in array in 1 iteration
/**
* C program to find second largest number in an array
*/
#include
#include // For INT_MIN
#define MAX_SIZE 1000 // Maximum array size
int main()
{
int arr[MAX_SIZE], size, i;
int max1, max2;
/* Input size of the array */
printf("Enter size of the array (1-1000): ");
scanf("%d", &size);
/* Input array elements */
printf("Enter elements in the array: ");
for(i=0; i max1)
{
/*
* If current element of the array is first largest
* then make current max as second max
* and then max as current array element
*/
max2 = max1;
max1 = arr[i];
}
else if(arr[i] > max2 && arr[i] < max1)
{
/*
* If current array element is less than first largest
* but is greater than second largest then make it
* second largest
*/
max2 = arr[i];
}
}
printf("First largest = %d\n", max1);
printf("Second largest = %d", max2);
