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

As per the Python in-built function sorted

sorted(my_list)[0]

gives back the smallest number, and sorted(my_list)[1] does accordingly for the second smallest, and so on and so forth.
