A sorting algorithm can be used to find the kth largest element of a list in Python. If we sort the list in descending order, we can retrieve the element through indexing.
arr = [23, 36, 12, 19, 10, 8, 66]# sorting in descending orderarr = sorted(arr, reverse=True)# retrieval of the kth (k=3) largest elementk=3print ("kth largest element:", arr[k-1])
arr, and initialize it with elements.sorted function to sort the elements of arr in descending order.k, and initialize it with a value of 3. Next, we print the third largest element of arr by retrieving the element at index k-1.
