    {
        IList intList = new List() { 10, 21, 91, 30, 91, 45, 51, 87, 87 };

        var largest = intList.Max();

        Console.WriteLine("Largest Element: {0}", largest);

        var secondLargest = intList.Max(i => {
            if(i != largest)
                return i;
            return 0;
