Python - Find second smallest number

Question

I found this code on this site to find the second largest number:

def second_largest(numbers):
    m1, m2 = None, None
    for x in numbers:
        if x >         


        

Answer 1

a = [6,5,4,4,2,1,10,1,2,48]
s = set(a) # used to convert any of the list/tuple to the distinct element and sorted sequence of elements
# Note: above statement will convert list into sets 
print sorted(s)[1]
