Sort an array without using loops in java

Question

How to get second maximum value from array without using nested loops in java? For eg: int [] arr = {2,4,1,6,5,9,0,7} Output : 7

Just posted an answer to the question "sort an array without using loops", but have deleted it as I realise that's not actually what you're asking. Might be sensible to update the question title. — HappyDog, Apr 01 '17 at 11:59

Try this:

import java.util.Arrays;
...
Arrays.sort(arr);
result = arr[arr.length - 2];

if (arr.length > 1)
{
    Collections.Arrays.sort(arr);
    int secondMax = arr[arr.length - 2];
}

You can use array sort method easily.

int [] arr = {2,4,1,6,5,9,0,7};
Arrays.sort(arr);
System.out.println(arr[arr.length - 2]);
