largest 2

[Donn]

This code is supposed to take in ten numbers from the user and print out the highest two numbers. I think I'm having a problem with the last buffer not being cleared when I enter 1 thru 10. Here is what I have so far:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int number=0, largest=0, sec_largest=0, i;

int main (void)
{
int c;
clrscr();

for (i=1;i<10;i++)
{
scanf("%d\n",&number);

if (largest<number)
{
sec_largest=largest;
largest=number;
}

if ((sec_largest<number)&&(largest>number))
sec_largest=number;
}

printf("The largest number is %d and the second largest is %d",largest,sec_largest);
return 0;

}

When I enter 1-10, it thinks 9 and 8 are the two largest. Thanks in advance for help.

Try increasing the number of times for() loop checks the numbers:

instead of

for (i=1;i<10;i++)

try

for (i = 1; i < 11; i++) or for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

if you want 10 numbers, you have to go from 1 to <11
like this: for (i=1;i<11;i++)
also remove the \n in the scanf(), it is not needed.
scanf("%d",&number);

hope this helps

Looks like I typed too slow
