Question

Need to print second Maximum Number in a given List Description - Given a list of numbers, find the second largest number in the list.

Note:- There might be repeated numbers in the list. If there is only one number present in the list, return 'not present'.

I have tried to directly sort it but not able to make the not present condition

An easy implementation would be to do something like:

if len(set(input)) == 1:
   print('not present')
else:
   sorted(set(input))[-2]

thanks but how to add the 'not present' part for the Note part pasted below? Note: There might be repeated numbers in the list. If there is only one number present in the list, return 'not present'. – Ankit Bedi Mar 02 '21 at 05:35
My apologies, fixed. – Keivan Ipchi Hagh Mar 02 '21 at 05:39
thanks. for code: if len(set(input_list)) == 1: print('not present') else: s=sorted(input_list)[-2] print(s) test case below is failing: Input [3, 1, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 0, 2, 2] Solution output 5 Expected output 4 – Ankit Bedi Mar 02 '21 at 05:42
I just tested and works fine. (Use a set to remove duplicated values) – Keivan Ipchi Hagh Mar 02 '21 at 05:46
Thanks keivan. I need more of your help. Can you share your mail id? – Ankit Bedi Mar 02 '21 at 05:58
It would be a better idea to post your question on Stackoverflow, so others can use it as well. – Keivan Ipchi Hagh Mar 02 '21 at 08:17
