find the kth largest key in a map in python

To find the kth largest key in a map in Python, we can sort the map's keys in descending order and return the kth key. Here's the Python code to accomplish this:

main.py
def get_kth_largest_key(map_obj, k):
    sorted_keys = sorted(map_obj.keys(), reverse=True)
    return sorted_keys[k - 1]

Here, the function get_kth_largest_key() takes a map object and the value of k as input arguments. The function first extracts the keys from the map object and sorts them in descending order using the sorted() function. Finally, the kth largest key is returned.

Note that we subtract 1 from k when returning the value as we are indexing a 0-based list of sorted keys. Also, if k exceeds the number of keys in the map then the function will throw an exception.
