Wrong Rank

The function rank_players(scores) takes a list of (name, score) tuples — already sorted highest to lowest — and returns a list of ranking strings like "1. Alice: 95", "2. Bob: 87".

The function runs without errors, but all the rank numbers are off by one. Every player shows rank 0, 1, 2... instead of 1, 2, 3.

One small parameter change is all it takes.

# your fix

solution

Read the code. Before running anything: what does the last line below give?

def rank_players(scores):

"""

Takes a list of (name, score) tuples already sorted from highest to

lowest and returns a list of ranking strings.

Ranks start at 1, not 0.

Example: rank_players([("Alice", 95), ("Bob", 87)])

-> ["1. Alice: 95", "2. Bob: 87"]

"""

result = []

for i, (name, score) in enumerate(scores):

result.append(f"{i}. {name}: {score}")

return result

>>> rank_players([('Alice', 95), ('Bob', 87)])
