        int size = arr.Length; 
        if (size < 3) { 
            Console.WriteLine("array size < 3"); 
            return; 
        } 
          
        int first, second, third; 
        
        third = first = second = Int32.MinValue;
        
        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]; 
        } 
          
        Console.WriteLine("The three largest elements are: " + first + " " + second + " " + third); 
    } 
    static void Main() {
        int[] arr = {5, 2, 9, 6, 12, 7, 8, 3, 1, 0}; 
        
        print3largest(arr); 
    }
}
