Introduction
In my previous article I described how to find the largest element of an array and in this article I will describe how to find the second highest element of an array. So here I find the second highest number.
Use the following procedure to create it.
Step 1
First of all you must create a new Windows Store Application.
Open Visual Studio 2012
"File" -> "New" -> "Project..."
Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Window Store app"
Choose "Blank App (XAML)" then rename the application
Step 2
Write the following XAML code in "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):
<Page
x:Class="find_largest_no_in_array.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:find_largest_no_in_array"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid Background="Red">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="110*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="59*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="40*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="559*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="167*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="156*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="360*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Array content is :" FontSize="20" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Foreground="White" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,375,12" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="text1" FontSize="20" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Foreground="White" Grid.Row="1" Margin="10,10,0,0" Grid.Column="2" Width="401" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="23" />
<TextBlock x:Name="text2" FontSize="20" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="23" Width="53"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text=" Second Largest Number in array is :" FontSize="20" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.RowSpan="2" Width="306" />
</Grid>
</Page>
Step 3
Now write the following C# code for the button within "Mainpage.Xaml.cs".
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using Windows.Foundation;
using Windows.Foundation.Collections;
using Windows.UI.Xaml;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Input;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;
namespace find_largest_no_in_array
{
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
int j, k=0, secondbig;
int[] arr = { 59, 12, 88, 2, 9, 58, 4, 20, 6 };
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
text1.Text += arr[i] + " ";
}
int big = arr[0];
for ( j = 1; j < arr.Length; j++)
{
if (big < arr[j])
{
big = arr[j];
k = j;
}
}
secondbig = arr[arr.Length - k - 1];
for (int m = 0; m < arr.Length; m++)
{
if (secondbig < arr[m] && k != m)
{
secondbig = arr[m];
}
}
text2.Text = secondbig.ToString();
}
}
}
Step 4
Now "Run" your app.
