Mobile coding works. A laptop is faster for long sessions.
Problem
Read from standard input a natural number `n` followed by `n` integers
in an array. Find the second-largest distinct value in the array (the
one immediately smaller than the maximum).
If all values in the array are equal (or if `n = 1`), there is no
second distinct value and the program should print `NU EXISTA`.
Input format
Input
input.txt
The first line contains `n`, the number of elements. The second line contains `n` integers separated by spaces. - `1 <= n <= 1000` - values are integers between `-1000000` and `1000000`
Output format
Output
output.txt
The program prints to standard output the second-largest distinct value, or, if it does not exist, the message `NU EXISTA`, followed by a newline.
