file = open("surf3_en.txt") scores = [] for line in file: name, points = line.split() scores.append(float(points)) file.close() print(f"1. {scores[0]:.2f}") print(f"2. {scores[1]:.2f}") print(f"3. {scores[2]:.2f}")

5.1. Sorting in decreasing order

5.2. sort and reverse methods

• The sort method sorts the data.

• The use of reverse keeps them in descending order.

• It is smarter to use scores.sort(reverse=True)

5.3. Finally the correct positions

file = open("surf3_en.txt") scores = [] for line in file: name, points = line.split() scores.append(float(points)) file.close() scores.sort(reverse=True) print(f"1. {scores[0]:.2f}") print(f"2. {scores[1]:.2f}") print(f"3. {scores[2]:.2f}")
