2733\. Neither Minimum nor Maximum

Easy

Given an integer array `nums` containing **distinct** **positive** integers, find and return **any** number from the array that is neither the **minimum** nor the **maximum** value in the array, or **`-1`** if there is no such number.

Return _the selected integer._

**Example 1:**

**Input:** nums = [3,2,1,4]

**Output:** 2

**Explanation:** In this example, the minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 4. Therefore, either 2 or 3 can be valid answers.

**Example 2:**

**Input:** nums = [1,2]

**Output:** -1

**Explanation:** Since there is no number in nums that is neither the maximum nor the minimum, we cannot select a number that satisfies the given condition. Therefore, there is no answer.

**Example 3:**

**Input:** nums = [2,1,3]

**Output:** 2

**Explanation:** Since 2 is neither the maximum nor the minimum value in nums, it is the only valid answer.

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= nums.length <= 100`
*   `1 <= nums[i] <= 100`
*   All values in `nums` are distinct
