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

There is a easy way to do . First sort the list and get the second item from the list.

def solution(a_list):

    a_list.sort()
    print a_list[1]

solution([1, 2, -8, -2, -10])
