A dictionary pairs names with scores. scores.items() gives the pairs, and sorted() can order them: sorted(scores.items(), key=lambda pair: pair[1], reverse=True) puts the highest score first. Then number the lines with a counter, or enumerate.
Your task
Print the ranking, highest score first, one line each like 1. Ravi 57.
