Answer 1

private static int secLargest(int[] numbers) {
        int maxVal = 0;
        int nextMaxVal = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
            if (numbers[i] > maxVal) {
                nextMaxVal = maxVal;
                maxVal = numbers[i];

            }
            if (numbers[i] < maxVal) {
                nextMaxVal = maxVal;
                maxVal = numbers[i];

            }
        }
        return nextMaxVal;

    }
