1# Take array
2n = int(input("Enter array size: "))
3arr = []
4for i in range(n):
5    arr.append(int(input(f"Element {i+1}: ")))

7# Sum except max and min
8if len(arr) <= 2:
9    print("Sum: 0 (array too small)")
10else:
11    max_val = max(arr)
12    min_val = min(arr)
13    total_sum = sum(arr)
14    result = total_sum - max_val - min_val
15    print(f"Sum (excluding max and min): {result}")

Output

Enter array size: 5
Element 1: 10
Element 2: 5
Element 3: 20
Element 4: 3
Element 5: 15
Sum (excluding max and min): 30

What's going on

Subtract max and min from total sum.

Key Concepts:

Calculate total sum
Subtract max and min
Result is sum of remaining
