Question
Given the participants’ score sheet for your University Sports Day, you are required to find the runner-up score. You are given scores. Store them in a list and find the score of the runner-up.
Input Format
The first line contains n . The second line contains an array A[ ] of n integers each separated by a space.
Constraints
- 2 ≤ n ≤ 10
- -100 ≤ A[i] ≤ 100
Output Format
Print the runner-up score.
Sample Input 0
5 2 3 6 6 5
Sample Output 0
5
Explanation 0
Given list is [2, 3, 6, 6, 5]. . The maximum score is 6 , second maximum is 5 . Hence, we print 5 as the runner-up score.
Solution
n = int(input())
scores = list(map(int, input().split()))
# Remove duplicates and sort the scores in descending order
unique_scores = sorted(set(scores), reverse=True)
# The runner-up score is the second highest score
runner_up_score = unique_scores[1]
print(runner_up_score)
The code reads the number of scores, n, from the input and then reads the scores themselves as a list, scores. It uses the map() function to convert the input string of space-separated integers into a list of integers.
Next, it removes duplicates from the scores list by converting it to a set and then sorts the unique scores in descending order using the sorted() function with the reverse=True parameter.
Finally, it retrieves the second highest score from the sorted unique scores list (unique_scores[1]) and prints it as the runner-up score.
