can you edit this code so it can find the second max number
function [SeMax] = SecondMax(v)
n = numel(v);
res = sort(v);
for k = 1 : 1: n
res = v(1,end-1);
end
end

Yes, I do know how to do any of those possibilities, but I do not know yet what the requirements are for your assignment.
Let us start with something simple: if the input is the single number 7, then what does the output have to be? Next, if the input is [7 7], then what does the output have to be? Next, if the input is [7 7 9], then what does the output have to be?

In your function you can write
res = sort(v)
SeMax = res(end-1)
It will give you the last second value after sorting, which is second largest if last and second last values are not same.

It is useful not to post solutions of homework questions. But you are suggesting only code, which was posted by the OP already. That's okay. +1
