Find the two highest elements in an unsorted array

Question

Andrew · Accepted Answer

Not sure what language this is suppose to be, but:
1) sizeof(arr), which arr is a pointer, is not going to be the size of the in bytes
2) you have the function returning an  int *, but there is no return statement, so you are returning garbage 
3) why are you comparing arr[i] to arr[0] every time?!?

This is a really bad answer.

int* two_Largest(int* arr)
{
     int* myArr = new int [2];
     myArr[0] = INT_MIN, myArr[1] = INT_MIN;
     int len = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(int);
     for(int i =0; iarr[0])
         {
             myArr[1] = myArr[0];
             myArr[0] = arr[i];
         }
         else
         {
             myArr[1] = arr[i];
         }
      }
}
