Use `list.sort()` combined with the `deepcopy` function from the inbuilt `copy` module to create a shallow clone of the list and sort it in ascending order and then use `list.reverse()` reverse it to make it descending order. Use `[:n]` to get the specified number of elements. Omit the second argument, `n`, to get a one-element array
```python
from copy import deepcopy
def max_n(arr, n=1):
numbers = deepcopy(arr)
numbers.sort()
numbers.reverse()
return numbers[:n]
def max_n(arr, n=1, reverse=True):
return sorted(arr, reverse=reverse)[:n]
