so, is there something wrong with this?
when I run it and enter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0, it outputs correctly.

but when i enter 22 13 8 59 35 63 38 18 13 22
the output would be

The largest value is: 63
The lowest value is: 8
The second largest value is: 59
The second lowest value is:10

where did 10 come from? :ooh:

Initialise low1 and low2 to a high value. Check this

I just had them as 9999(all other numbers in the list were lesser than that.) and it works fine.

Here is the working code:

PS: Kindly format code the next time you post. It will be easier to read. :)
