public class Main {
    public static String find_second_largest_word_in_string(String s) {
        String secondLongest = Arrays.stream(s.split(" "))
                .sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(String::length).reversed())
                .skip(1) // Skip the longest word
                .findFirst()
                .orElse(null); 
        
        return secondLongest;

        String s = "c cpp cobol c# python java";
        
        String secondLongest = find_second_largest_word_in_string(s);

        if (secondLongest != null) {
            System.out.println("The second longest word is: " + secondLongest);
        } else {
