Question about the task

Second smallest number entered

Java Syntax, Level 4, Lesson 5

Under discussion

I am getting some of the tasks but I am missing something here! anyone can help me or give me some ideas?? please

In this task, you need to:

Read integers from the keyboard until something else is entered, such as a string or a character.
At least two numbers must be entered. If less than two integers are entered, then terminate the program with an error. You don't need to handle this situation.
Display the second smallest integer entered from the keyboard. If several such numbers are entered, you must display any of them.
There may also be several minimum numbers.

Example input:

8

4 // Minimum number

7

4 // Minimum number

5 // Second smallest number

9

5 // Second smallest number

exit

Example output:
5

Requirements:

The program should read numbers from the keyboard.
The program should display a number on the screen.
The program should display the second smallest integer entered.
If several second smallest numbers are entered, then you need to display any one of them.
You need to read data from the keyboard in a while loop.

package en.codegym.task.pro.task04.task0410; import java.util.Scanner; /* Second smallest number entered */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { //write your code here Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in); int myMinNumber = Integer.MAX_VALUE; int mySecondMinNumber = Integer.MAX_VALUE; while(console.hasNextInt()){ int myInput = console.nextInt(); if(myInput < myMinNumber){ myMinNumber = myInput; }else{ mySecondMinNumber = myInput; } } System.out.println(mySecondMinNumber); } }

Run the program Enter 10 min = 10 Enter 8 min = 8, but mySecondMinNumber doesn't become 10. It remains MAX_VALUE.

Your solution lacks additional variable, which should be used as counter to fulfil "If less than two integers are entered, then terminate the program with an error" requirement.

useful

try 2 1 or 1 2 1 and also an important condition is 1 2 3 if those three work retry to validate
