Thread: Program that asks for column of numbers and prints 2 highest ones won't print the sec

ond one properly. I have tried several things (many of which are commented out) to get this to work, but the second highest one usually doesn't print the second highest one. Can someone figure out what I am missing?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ( ) {
    int number;
    int highest;
    // int var = 0;
    int secondhighest = 0;
    int input;
    cout << "How many numbers? ";
    cin >> number;
    cin >> input;
    highest = input;
    secondhighest = input;
    for(int track = 1; track < number; track++) {
            cin >> input;
           // secondhighest = input;
          //  if(second == 4) {
            //          var = second;
              //        }   
            if(highest <= input) {
                       secondhighest = highest;
                    highest = input;
                       }
                       else if(input >= secondhighest) {
                            input = secondhighest;
                           // secondhighest = input;
                       }
                       // else if(secondhighest > input) {
                      
                     //  }
                       }
                       cout << "Highest: " << highest << endl;
                       cout << "Second: " << secondhighest;
                       }

Any help would be very appreciated.

Why did you open a new topic for this existing problem?
