another way is using arr[0] and arr[1] instead of Integer.Max_Value for both. Because this case we assume arr[0] is the smallest. if it is the smallest by chance then we are good. if not it will search for smallest and give it the index of 0. same goes for arr[1]. We assume arr[1] is the second smallest and if it isn't the system searches for the second smallest value and gives it the index of 1.

public static void main(String[] args) {
// 1. method “int GetSecondMin(int[] array)
int array[] = {7, 2, 9, 5, 4, 15, 6, 1};



}//End of Main

// 1. method “int GetSecondMin(int[] array)
static int GetSecondMin(int[] array){
int firstMin = array[0];
int secondMin = array[1];

for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){

if(array[i] > firstMin){
firstMin = array[i];

}
else if(array[i] > firstMin && array[i] < secondMin){
secondMin = array[i];
}

}
return secondMin;
}//End of GetSecondMin
