Kth Maximum Element | Dataford Interview Questions

Write a program to find the kth maximum element in an array.

Implement find_kth_maximum(nums, k), where nums is a non-empty list of integers and k is one-indexed. Return the kth largest value, counting duplicate values as separate elements. Assume 1 <= k <= len(nums).

Constraints

1 <= len(nums) <= 1000
-10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
1 <= k <= len(nums)
Duplicate values count as separate elements

Function Signature

def find_kth_maximum(nums, k):
