    You can use sort() it is efficient than sorted() as it does in-place sorting. They used sorted, so that they write it in lesser number of characters.

    sort() returns None whereas sorted() returns the newly created list.

    Using sort() :

    n=input()
nums=set(map(int),input().split())
nums.sort() #here in-place sorting takes place
print (nums[-2])

      'set' object has no attribute 'sort'

        ^ This. The set function doesn't create a list, and sets don't allow for the sort attribute. Using sorted() converts the data into a list, then sorts it.
