Second Max of Three Numbers

Hazrat Ali

Write a program that accepts sets of three numbers, and prints the second-maximum number among the three.

Input

  • First line contains the number of triples, N.
  • The next N lines which follow each have three space separated integers.

Output

For each of the N triples, output one new line which contains the second-maximum integer among the three.

Constraints

  • 1 ≤ N ≤ 6
  • 1 ≤ every integer ≤ 10000
  • The three integers in a single triplet are all distinct. That is, no two of them are equal.

Sample 1:

Input
3
1 2 3
10 15 5
100 999 500
Output
 
2
10
500

Solution

t = int(input())

for _ in range(t):
    the_array = list(map(int, input().split()))
    the_array.sort()
    print(the_array[1])
