public class MyClass {
    static void print3largest(int arr[]) { 
        int size = arr.length; 
        
        if (size < 3) { 
            System.out.print("array size < 3"); 
            return; 
        } 
        
        int first, second, third; 

        third = first = second = Integer.MIN_VALUE; 

        for (int i = 0; i < size ; i++) { 
            if (arr[i] > first) { 
                third = second; 
                second = first; 
                first = arr[i]; 
            } 
            else if (arr[i] > second) { 
                third = second; 
                second = arr[i]; 
            } 
            else if (arr[i] > third) 
                third = arr[i]; 
        } 
        
        System.out.println("The three largest elements are: " + first + " " + second + " " + third); 
    } 
  
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int arr[] = {5, 2, 9, 6, 12, 7, 8, 3, 1, 0}; 
        
        print3largest(arr); 
    }
}



/*
run:
      
The three largest elements are: 12 9 8
      
*/
