Try this. It may work better.

need to compare ten numbers input from a user and find the two highest. i haver to do this without putting the numbers in an array and then using qsort to sort them.
CODE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
int num;
int higher;
int highest;
int counter = 0;
while(counter <10)
{
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf{"%d", &num);
if(num > highest)
num =higher;
else
num = highest;
}
printf("The two highest numbers are %d and %d\n.", higher,highest);
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
This only works if the numbers are in a special order. Try rearranging the order of entry, Largest before next largest. Next largest before largest.
