Java Exercises: Find the k largest elements in a specified array
Java Basic: Exercise-159 with Solution
Write a Java program to find the k largest elements in a given array. Elements in the array can be in any order.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
Java Code:
import java.util.*;
public class Solution {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Integer arr[] = new Integer[]{1, 4, 17, 7, 25, 3, 100};
int k = 3;
System.out.println("Original Array: ");
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
System.out.println(k +" largest elements of the said array are:");
Arrays.sort(arr, Collections.reverseOrder());
for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
}
}
Sample Output:
Original Array: [1, 4, 17, 7, 25, 3, 100] 3 largest elements of the said array are: 100 25 17
