The way I would have done it a="2 3 3 4 6 6 5" b=a.split() c=max(b) while c in b: b.remove(c) print(b) print(max(b)) I am trying to understand your solution tho your solution outputs right result if I am not wrong ,so i don't really understand what is the problem! Also I think the constraints in this solution would be no use of max? otherwise using max you can find it easily
