* Find Second Largest is a real technical interview question.
|
|
* Chances are you will be asked to find the second largest value
|
|
* inside of an array of numbers. You must also be able to filter
|
|
* out duplicate values. It's important to know how to do this with
|
|
* clean code that is also easy to explain.
