smallest2

Language/Type: Java input method basics Scanner
Author: Roy McElmurry (on 2010/12/28)

Write a static method named smallest2 that accepts a Scanner for console input as a parameter. The method repeatedly prompts the user for a sequence of integers until the user enters a negative number. The method then prints the smallest two nonnegative numbers entered by the user. (You may assume the user will enter at least 2 nonnegative numbers.) Notice you do not have to print the two smallest unique numbers entered by the user. For example, if the user enters 2, 2, and 3, the two smallest numbers entered are 2 and 2.

Call smallest2(console); smallest2(console); smallest2(console); smallest2(console);
