I seem to be getting the correct output but not passing all the requirements.

Question about the task

Second smallest number entered

Java Syntax, Level 4, Lesson 5

Under discussion

can any shed some light on this?

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 sc = new Scanner(System.in); int min = sc.nextInt(); int secondMin = Integer.MAX_VALUE; while(sc.hasNextInt()){ int x = sc.nextInt(); if(x<=min){ min=x; }else if(x<secondMin){ secondMin=x; } }System.out.println(secondMin); } }
