Exercise: Kth Maximum Integer in a List

Problem statement

Given a list of integers and a number k, find the kth largest integer in the list. The integer will be stored in the kth_max variable. For example, with a list of 7 integers, if k = 2, then kth_max will be equal to the second-largest integer in the list. If k = 6, kth_max will equal the 6th largest integer.
