For both subtasks, iterate through the array of $N$ ~N~ integers, adding one to Shane's placement for every score greater than Shane's score, while keeping track of the minimum and maximum values.

Time Complexity: $O(N)$ ~O(N)~

Alternatively, sort the array of $N$ ~N~ integers and binary search for Shane's placement, with index $0$ ~0~ and index $N-1$ ~N-1~ being the maximum and minimum values.

Time Complexity: $O(Nlog(N))$ ~O(Nlog(N))~
