One possible method is to sort the array in descending order and then return the element at the Nth position. This can be done quickly using a sorting algorithm such as quicksort or mergesort, which have an average time complexity of O(n log n). Alternatively, one could use a linear-time selection algorithm such as quickselect or heap-select, which have a worst-case time complexity of O(n) but may require more complex code to implement.
