LARGE(ar,i)

This function gives the $i$ -th largest value in the given set of numbers.
This function can be used to find data based on relative size - such as the fourth largest number in a given list of data.
In $LARGE(ar,i)$ , $ar$ is the array of data to find the $i$ -largest value. $i$ is the position from the largest to return.
If $k$ is the number of data points in a range, then $LARGE(ar,1)$ gives the largest value, and $LARGE(ar,n)$ gives the smallest value.
The function gives the result as error when

       1. The array is empty.
       2.  $i\leq 0$  or  $i$  is greater than the total number of points in the given set.
