Accept 10 numbers, and find the largest and second largest numbers. You MUST use a while loop

Here's my code thus far:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int number = 0, MAX = 0, MAX1 = 0 count = 1;

while (count <= 10)
{
cout << "Enter 10 numbers to find the maximum: ";
cin >> number;


if (number > MAX)
{
MAX = number;
}

if (number > MAX1)
{
MAX1 = number;
}

count++;
}
cout << MAX << " is the maximum" << " and " << MAX1 << " is the second maximum!" << endl;
return 0;
}


and I have no idea where to go from there,



There's nothing wrong with th at code, except it prints the max for both MAX and MAX1. I don't know how to get the second largest number...

// Exercise 4.19 Two Largest Numbers.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int number = 0, MAX = 0, MAX1 = 0, count = 1;

while (count <= 10)
{
cout << "Enter 10 numbers to find the maximum: ";
cin >> number;


if (number > MAX)
{
MAX = number;
}

else if (number > MAX && number > MAX1)
{
MAX1 = MAX;
MAX = number;
}

count++;
}
cout << MAX << " is the maximum" << " and " << MAX1 << " is the second maximum!" << endl;
return 0;
}



NEvermind, I figured it out... guess I'm just tired... too bad it took me so long, so thanks anyways

damn, nevermind, it's not working now, i keep geting 0 for the second maximum

god dang, stuff like this is hard, but directx buffering and blitting is easy... what a world

dang, it still gives me 0 for the second value:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int number = 0, MAX = 0, MAX1 = 0, count = 1;

while (count <= 10)
{
cout << "Enter 10 numbers to find the maximum: ";
cin >> number;


if (number > MAX)
{
MAX = number;
}

if (number > MAX1 && number < MAX)
{
MAX1 = number;
}

count++;
}
cout << MAX << " is the maximum" << " and " << MAX1 << " is the second maximum!" << endl;
return 0;
}

In your first if-statement, have


beofre max=number;
