Java has two types of beans: stateful and stateless beans.

• Stateful beans maintain conversational state with the client, while stateless beans do not.

• Stateful beans are typically used for long-running conversations, while stateless beans are used for short-lived operations.

• Examples of stateful beans include session beans, while examples of stateless beans include message-driven beans.

Use a sorting algorithm like bubble sort or quicksort to arrange elements in ascending order.

• Use a sorting algorithm like bubble sort, quicksort, or merge sort to rearrange elements in ascending order.

• For example, you can implement bubble sort to compare adjacent elements and swap them if they are in the wrong order.

• Another example is using quicksort to divide the array into smaller subarrays and recursively sort them.

Iterate through the array to find the second greatest number.

• Iterate through the array and keep track of the greatest and second greatest numbers.

• Compare each element with the current greatest and second greatest numbers.

• Update the second greatest number if a new number is found that is greater than the current second greatest but less than the greatest.
