Question

Task #4: Arrays, Methods and File I/O

In this task, you are being asked to write methods that manipulate arrays, and write and read to

and from the text file in Java.

1. Write a method called getSecondSmallestNumber that accepts an integer array as

argument and returns the second smallest number from the array.

You may use the following header for this method:

static int getSecondSmallestNumber(int[] array)

For example, if we pass {10, 17, 3, 5, 12, 19} then the method should return 5

as the second smallest number from the array.

Answer 1

class App {


	static int getSecondSmallestNumber(int[] array) {
		int temp;
		for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
			for (int j = i + 1; j < array.length; j++) {
				if (array[i] < array[j]) {
					temp = array[i];
					array[i] = array[j];
					array[j] = temp;
				}
			}
		}
		return array[array.length - 2];
	}


	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int array[] = { 10, 17, 3, 5, 12, 19 };
		int secondSmallestNumber = getSecondSmallestNumber(array);
		System.out.print(secondSmallestNumber);


	}
