60 - Python Basics 7

Written by Emily Leng

Problem

Given an list of integers stored in args[0] and an integer k stored in args[1], sort them in descending order, then print the value at array index k from the sorted list.

Hint

I wonder if there's a built in sort function?

Solution

Python has a handy built in sort function! And, the indexes of strings can be referred to like the indexes in arrays or lists.

a = args[0]
a.sort(reverse = True)
print a[args[1]]
