Finding the second smallest integer in array

Question

We are required in our assignment to find the second smallest integer in one array recursively. However, for the sake of understanding the subject more, I want to do it iter

Answer 1

     public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    int[] elements  = {-4 , 2 , 10 , -2, -3 }; 
    int smallest = Integer.MAX_VALUE; 
    int secondSmallest = Integer.MAX_VALUE; 

    for (int i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
    {
        if (smallest>elements[i])
            smallest=elements[i];

    }

    for (int i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
    {
        if (secondSmallest>elements[i] && elements[i]>smallest)
            secondSmallest=elements[i];

    }

    System.out.println("The smallest element is: " + smallest + "\n"+  "The second smallest element is: " + secondSmallest);
}
