Example 1: how to find second maximum element of an array python
maximum1 = max(lst)
maximum2 = max(lst, key = lambda x: min(lst)-1 if (x == maximum1) else x)
Example 2: find second max element in array in 1 iteration
/**
* C program to find second largest number in an array
*/
int main()
{
int arr[MAX_SIZE], size, i;
int max1, max2;
/* Input size of the array */
printf("Enter size of the array (1-1000): ");
scanf("%d", &size);
/* Input array elements */
printf("Enter elements in the array: ");
for(i=0; i<size; i++)
{
scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
}
max1 = max2 = INT_MIN;
/*
* Check for first largest and second
*/
for(i=0; i<size; i++)
{
if(arr[i] > max1)
{
/*
* If current element of the array is first largest
* then make current max as second max
* and then max as current array element
*/
max2 = max1;
max1 = arr[i];
}
else if(arr[i] > max2 && arr[i] < max1)
{
/*
* If current array element is less than first largest
* but is greater than second largest then make it
* second largest
*/
max2 = arr[i];
}
}
printf("First largest = %d\n", max1);
printf("Second largest = %d", max2);
return 0;
