Second Highest Number in Java

In this simple program it will ask the user to enter five numbers and then our program will check and determine which of the five number has the second highest value.

I hope you will find my work useful and beneficial. If you have some questions about programming, about my work please send me an email at jakerpomperada@gmail.comand jakerpomperada@yahoo.com. People here in the Philippines can contact me at  my mobile number 09173084360.

Thank you very much and Happy Programming.
