DIY Wooden Ladder
Description
Let's denote a $k$-step ladder as the following structure: exactly $k + 2$ wooden planks, of which
- two planks of length at least $k+1$ — the base of the ladder;
- $k$ planks of length at least $1$ — the steps of the ladder;
Note that neither the base planks, nor the steps planks are required to be equal.
For example, ladders $1$ and $3$ are correct $2$-step ladders and ladder $2$ is a correct $1$-step ladder. On the first picture the lengths of planks are $[3, 3]$ for the base and $[1]$ for the step. On the second picture lengths are $[3, 3]$ for the base and $[2]$ for the step. On the third picture lengths are $[3, 4]$ for the base and $[2, 3]$ for the steps.
You have $n$ planks. The length of the $i$-th planks is $a_i$. You don't have a saw, so you can't cut the planks you have. Though you have a hammer and nails, so you can assemble the improvised "ladder" from the planks.
The question is: what is the maximum number $k$ such that you can choose some subset of the given planks and assemble a $k$-step ladder using them?
The first line contains a single integer $T$ ($1 \le T \le 100$) — the number of queries. The queries are independent.
Each query consists of two lines. The first line contains a single integer $n$ ($2 \le n \le 10^5$) — the number of planks you have.
The second line contains $n$ integers $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ ($1 \le a_i \le 10^5$) — the lengths of the corresponding planks.
It's guaranteed that the total number of planks from all queries doesn't exceed $10^5$.
Print $T$ integers — one per query. The $i$-th integer is the maximum number $k$, such that you can choose some subset of the planks given in the $i$-th query and assemble a $k$-step ladder using them.
Print $0$ if you can't make even $1$-step ladder from the given set of planks.
Input
The first line contains a single integer $T$ ($1 \le T \le 100$) — the number of queries. The queries are independent.
Each query consists of two lines. The first line contains a single integer $n$ ($2 \le n \le 10^5$) — the number of planks you have.
The second line contains $n$ integers $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ ($1 \le a_i \le 10^5$) — the lengths of the corresponding planks.
It's guaranteed that the total number of planks from all queries doesn't exceed $10^5$.
Output
Print $T$ integers — one per query. The $i$-th integer is the maximum number $k$, such that you can choose some subset of the planks given in the $i$-th query and assemble a $k$-step ladder using them.
Print $0$ if you can't make even $1$-step ladder from the given set of planks.
